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

Heindicated he had flown over the field prior to spraying, but missed this particular line because it blended with the trees behind it. He landed the helicopter after the strike and replaced the rotor blade having tip damage. This is a final report.
