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 9/1/97, Cessna 150M, N714ZZ, took off from harris ranch, coalinga, CA on runway 14. The pilot encountered an engine reduction of speed to 2100-2200 RPM at an altitude of 100-150 AGL. A shallow bank to the left was accomplished to a heading of approximately 300 degrees, where the aircraft was rolled level. Approaching midfield, the pilot noticed another aircraft taking off. The pilot made an aircraft advisory of the emergency. N714ZZ crossed over the runway and struck a windsock pole with the left wing leading edge at wing station 38. The aircraft landed without further incident. FAA inspected the aircraft and determined the loss of engine power was the result of a stuck exhaust valve in the number 3 cylinder. This incident report is considered closed.
