What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) According to the pilot he had serviced the aircraft brakes by adding fluid to the brakes reservoir. During the take-off roll one of his feet slipped off the rudder pedal due to the spilled hydraulic fluid on the pedal. He reduced the power, however the airplane departed the runway to the right and impacted a hill. The pilot said that the left landing gear assembly was bent and had pushed the gearbox housing into the fuselage. The pilot continued on his flight without getting a ferry permit. Therefore, this office could not visit the scene.
