What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On January 2, 2008, at 1804 CST, Beech BE-76, N6697D, started a take off roll on rwy 33R, kmwc, under VFR conditions to perform local, pattern operations. At approximately 700 feet from the departure end of the runway the aircraft lost directional control due to lack of positive rudder authority (low airspeed) and the main landing gear contacting packed snow on the pavement. This resulted in the aircraft skidding nose first into a snow bank on the left side of the runway. The aircraft sustained minor damage and the sole occupant pilot was not injured.
