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 takeoff the pilot stated that the right engine started to lose power (manifold pressure). Pilot aborted takeoff and ran into a snow bank at the end of the runway. Only minor damage was done to the nose landing gear steering, the stop clamp was broke. The engine has been run five (5) times by Aspen base operations with no malfunction. Maintenance found the brake to be worn and brake pressure low. Still looking into the brake issue with Aspen base operations.
