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.

(-16) Initial investigation revealed that the pilot executed a steep left turn in preparation for landing, and failed to recover before striking a bluff about 20 feet below the crest. Review of the aircraft logbooks to date do not show an annual inspection being performed within the past 12 calendar months.
