Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The acft departed the side of the rwy during takeoff. The acft was being ferried by the plt to his home base in FL. The NTSB did not receive an accident report from the plt although he said that one was mailed. Requests for a duplicate werenot responded to. A FAA inspector examined the grass strip and say it had a sideslope and was wet from recent rains. Theterrain was a clay like substance and the acft slid sideways on the sloping surface.
