N756DJCessna U206G

The pilot reported that he was performing a soft field takeoff at a private dirt airstrip with a right crosswind. During the takeoff roll, staying on the left side of the airstrip to clear a known dip, the nosewheel lifted off the ground quickly as expected, however he now had no turning ability. The pilot utilized right rudder input to compensate for the cross wind, but the ground speed was too low and he did not have enough rudder authority to keep the left wing from impacting a parked bulldozer on the side of the airstrip. The airplane's left wing was substantially damaged.

The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

The pilot reported that he had taxied through loose snow and slush at the departure airport. The subsequent flight and landing were in sub-freezing temperatures. On touchdown at the destination airport, the airplane veered to the right. The pilot applied left rudder in an attempt to correct for the veer, the airplane then veered sharply to the right, nosed down, and impacted a snow berm. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing. Postaccident examination by the pilot, found the right brake still locked by ice and the left brake free. He then disassembled the right brake, and no mechanical anomalies were found.
