Narrative:Challenger II, N44LS, was the last of seven airplanes to depart from a taxiway that was oriented toward west-northwest. The pilots of all previous airplanes departed with a right turn out to the north. Wind conditions at the time were observed to be gusty, with several airplanes having difficulties taking off. After liftoff, the airplane was observed turning towards the left while increasing its angle of bank. The airplane went into a steep left bank followed by a high descent rate that continued until the airplane collided with the terrain. About 5 minutes before the accident, the wind was reported to be from 340 degrees at 7 gusting 15 knots. On-scene investigation revealed no pre-impact mechanical anomaly with the engine or the flight controls. CAUSE: failure of the pilot to maintain control of the airplane during takeoff. The gusty wind condition was a related factor.
