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.

Mr. Powell, a Private pilot, was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan had been filed for the personal flight under 14 CFR part 91. The pilot was attempting to land on his 1,000 ft sod strip. The pilot stated that he was half way down the runway and gusty wind was causing him to float. He attempted a go-around with flaps full and carb heat on. The aircraft stalled and came to rest in some small trees approximately 20 feet tall. privacy data omitted
