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.

(-5)On Saturday, October 17, 1998, Mr. Bok departed mansfield, MA, piloting the Cessna 210G with robert schuil, a visitor from the netherlands, as passenger. After taking off Mr. Bok was joined by his son, hans bok, flying an experimental lazer and greg lesinski flying his yak 55 in loose formation. Approcahing the Taunton airport at approximately 5:00 p.m., hans bok indicated that he would land first and departed for the downwind leg. Greg lesinski stayed on the right side up to the downwind leg but also indicated that he would like to land first. He extended his downwind leg to provide adequate spacing and approached final relatively high, which required full flaps. The approach was smooth but after flare-out, the aircraft settled onto the runway with one wing slightly lower and with the gear still retracted. The occupants of the aircraft suffered no injuries and the plane was removed from the runway in approximately 20 minutes. The damage was limited to the underside of the aircraft; two belly skins, cowl flaps and left main-gear door require repair. The propeller appears to be beyond repair and totaled as well as three antennas. The engine requires teardown and inspectinspection.
