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) The Cessna 150 pilot reported his engine quit during cruise while descending from 7,500 feet. He was unable to restart the engine and made a safe landing on old highway 30. Three hours later after contacting the state police, he was able to restart the engine and taxi the aircraft to a near by town. Maintanance personnel have since inspected the aircraft and found no problems with any of the associated aircraft systems related to the engine quitting.
