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.

The pilot was completing an agrigultural aerial application swath run. At the end of the run he misjudged the available distance in the vicinity of and under the power line wires at the end of the field, striking a wire with the propeller and sustaining a broken wind screen. The pilot stated that changing light and wind at that time of day were casual factors. There was no structural damage to the aircraft and the pilot was not injured.
