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: pilot arrived from Z22, and landed on lake a bgq. He then determined it was too rough for take-off due to snow machine trails and repositioned the aircraft to the ice road. This was accomplished by a take-off without passengers and landed on the road on skis. The aircraft slowed to a walk, but did not stop until each wing hit some start/finish poles sticking in the snow on each side of the road. A dent in each wing leading edge was the result. The pilot called maintenance, who got a ferry permit to move the aircraft for repair. NTSB considered the event an incident. This case is considered closed.
