What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On April 22, 2006, at about 1807 CDT, a Grumman GA-AA-1, N6214L, ran off the end of a grass runway (rwy 06) down a 30 degree slope where the nose landing gear failed and the aircraft came to rest. The private pilot and single passenger were not injured and the aircraft sustained minor damage. The aircraft was being operated as a private/pleasure flight by the pilot/owner under 14 CFR part 91 when the incident occurred. The flight originated at the Lakeview/Gastons (3MO) airport, Lakeview, Arkansas, at 1807 CDT. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and a flight plan was not filed. The pilot stated that the uneven runway prematurely launched the airplane. New paragraph: the takeoff was aborted with too little remaining runway and the airplane could not stop on the grass surface until it ran off the end which is a steep drop to level ground about 20 feet below the runway surface.
