From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

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

Narrative: 02-07-94 interview with pilot: on 2-5-94, at 12:30 CST a preflight was conducted and aircraft was fueled. Mr. Lewmanmont (PIC), departed on runway 35, and practiced full stop landings. After the fourth landing, the PIC departed the pattern and practiced steep turns. After returning to the pattern and on the seventh approach, the PIC stated he lowered the gear handle and continued the approach. The PIC felt he should have touched down at the lake point. Just about the time the PIC contemplated a go around, the propeller struck the ground and skidded to a stop. Note: the lake point is 3/4 way down the runway, which is 4150 feet total, which leaves only 1037 feet for rollout after touchdown.
