What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot received clearance for takeoff while holding short of the runway. He then advanced the throttles to enter the runway at which time he also picked up his flashlight from the unoccupued co-pilots seat. He dropped the flashlight which also knocked his ipad off his leg, both went onto the floor. His head went down for what he discribed as a few seconds, and when he looked back up, he was exiting the runway into the grass on the opposite side. He brought the aircraft to an abrupt halt, but the nose gear had already left the hard surface and sunk into the soft soil, resulting in both props striking the runway.
