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.

(-23) During the first take-off of the day, the aircraft appeared to lack the power to obtain a positive rate during rotation. The take-off was aborted. During the roll-out, the aircraft crossed an intersecting runway and collided with a sign. The aircraft skidded sideways and came to rest with the landing gear collapsed. According to statements from Mr. Baugh, the aircraft owner. Mr. Ash, replaced some of the spark plugs the previous evening due to a bad magneto check. An investigation into the cause of the lack of power is ongoing.
