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: on 02-14-95, at approx. 1405 MST, N28634 entered phx TRACON control on an IFR flt plan to (gyr) goodyear airport, Phoenix, AZ. Due to local conditions, N28634 was given radar vectors for the ndb-b approach to dvt arprt. Instead of tyr. Several minutes later, the pilot needed help finding dvt arpt.

One minute later, N28634 declared he was out of fuel and proceeded to land on a road without damage or injury to aircraft or occupant. An investigation is still on-going to find owner/operator of this aircraft. Oklahoma city records of address are invalid. This incident closed.
