What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The weather conditions were marginable due to the gusting winds and the adjacent terrain. The pilot had completed two trips and was departing to complete his last. A heavy snow squall had just past, leaving more slush and standing water on the runway. During the take-off roll, at approximately 40 to 50 knots, the aircraft started pulling hard to the right in the slush. The pilot decided to abort the take-off. The aircraft departed the runway through a snow berm. The nose wheel attachment bulkhead was bent. There was not other damage. The nose wheel itself was not damaged.
