The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Requirements before taking anybody with him, this was his chance to see if he felt comfortable flying at night as a private pilot. After his first landing he came to a full stop and according to the "POH" calculations he had just enough distance to take off again. During take ground take off roll he noticed he was not going to be able to take off before reaching the end of the runway. He aborted the takeoff prior to becoming airborne by pulling power and braking. He believes the aircraft hit some ice on the runway causing it to slide off the runway and into the perimeter fence.
