Narrative:

Winds were reported as calm. Approximately 100 ft AGL, above the tree line, I apparently had some type of windshear and turbulence out of the east or southeast. It caused my plane to bank to the right and pushed me past the control tower before I could correct for it. I passed 300-400 ft from the sgf control tower. I immediately initiated a maximum performance climb to gain altitude.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: AERO COMMANDER 114B ACFT, JUST AFTER TKOF, EXPERIENCED WINDSHEAR GUSTS THAT TEMPORARILY PUT ACFT IN MARGINAL CTLABILITY. RPTR CAPT EXECUTED MAX PERFORMANCE CLB, BUT HAD COME CLOSE TO TWR DUE TO WINDS.

Narrative: WINDS WERE RPTED AS CALM. APPROX 100 FT AGL, ABOVE THE TREE LINE, I APPARENTLY HAD SOME TYPE OF WINDSHEAR AND TURB OUT OF THE E OR SE. IT CAUSED MY PLANE TO BANK TO THE R AND PUSHED ME PAST THE CTL TWR BEFORE I COULD CORRECT FOR IT. I PASSED 300-400 FT FROM THE SGF CTL TWR. I IMMEDIATELY INITIATED A MAX PERFORMANCE CLB TO GAIN ALT.
