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 March 7, 1996, I received a telephone call from a person identifying himself as a clayton e. dyrr. He stated that he was the pilot and sole occupant of aircraft N777KE, and that he had just "crashed" it at Gansner field, Quincy, CA. The incident occurred at 1150 local time. Mr dyrr said that he had done a touch and go and then attempted to retract the gear, and that the gear did not come up all the way. He then cycled the gear and got "three green" lights to indicate proper gear operation. When he next landed, the aircraft veered sharply to the left and exited runway 24 immediately into soft dirt. It was at this point that the gear and prop were damaged as it spun approximately 270 degrees and came to a stop. Mr dyrr received no injuries and was the only person on board the aircraft. The NTSB in los angeles was notified. After talking to an IA, john moore, at Quincy, it was then classified as an incident. When the isis data was pulled up, it showed that Mr. Dyrr had his pilot certificate suspended for 30 days and his third class medical had been revoked. Both of these sanctions began on October 13, 1995, however the pilot the isis data shows a third class medical dated 11/22/1994, valid for 12 months following the month examined. It is possible that the airman had his medical reinstated after the testing performed with the cardiologist. This incident privacy data omitted has been closed, however we are continuing to investigate a possible invalid medical certificate. This incident did not involve a pilot deviation report form 8020-17.
