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: pilot stated: on March 9, 1997, I was landing on 28R mry, winds were light but a slight crosswind. After normal 3 point touchdown, I felt my left wing coming up. After lowering wing, aircraft started a ground loop to the right, with full rudder aircraft still headed for right side of runway. Applying left brake did not stop the veer so applied both brakes to stop aircraft. The aircraft left the right side of runway and into gravel. After about 20 ft. off runway, tail came up and prop struck the ground and aircraft stopped with cowl on the ground. Pilot & passenger exited aircraft, with help tail lowered to ground and towed off. Damaged lower cowl dented and scraped, prop tips bent, prop spinner dented. Inspectors statement: inspection of the aircraft on March 10, 1997, at mry verifies pilots statement concerning damage to the aircraft. No other observable defects or damage were noted. Log books and credentials verified. Airworthiness & registration certificates verified valid. Pilots written statement obtained. No pilot deviation and no 8020.11 generated. This terminates the investigation and this report is closed.
