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: made last pass on field, engine started running rough, lots of smoke. It would run and quit, then finally quit. I landed in a sudan grass field and on roll-out hit road in center of field and collapsed landing gear and bent prop blades.
