The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: on January 31, 1994, at approximately 0735 CDT, aircraft N869, a Beechcraft BE-200 came into contact with a snow bank during a takeoff roll on runway 2 at Michigan City municipal airport (mgc) in Michigan City, Indiana. The corporate flight operated under 14 CFR 91, and had filed an IFR flight plan and was given a release time by sbn-atct. The pilot stated that during takeoff, the left main landing gear started to drag into a snow bank causing a left turning tendency. He was unable to stop the aircraft from drifting left and proceeded to shut the engines down. Then, contact with a snow bank caused the nose gear to collapse further causing damage to both propellers and the nose gear. The pilot also reported that no injuries were received as a result of this occurrence. A maintenance inspection revealed no maintenance discrepancies.
