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.

While maneuvering to downwind leg, throttle was advanced. A severe vibration with little or no thrust increase resulted. Engine RPM then increased rapidly and thrust reduced to zero. A forced landing on airport, off runway, was made. Aircraft damage was due to poorly maintained safety strips and overrun areas. Specific cause of loss of thrust could not be determined on scene. Canadian authorities will conduct further research. Specific cause of loss of thrust could not be determined on scene. Canadian authorities will conduct further research.
