What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On April 10, 2024 at about 1430 local time this aircraft attempted a takeoff from runway 10 at D51. About one third down the runway there were tire marks in the grass right of the center line leading towards the aircraft. These tracks continued drifting to the right and at one point the nose wheel track disappeared for about 30 feet. The nose wheel track came back again and after that the nose wheel sunk into mud along with the right main wheel track. The nose wheel went deep enough into the mud causing the propeller to strike the ground causing scars that went for about 8 feet, until the aircraft spinner struck the ground and the aircraft then flipped onto it’s back.
