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 pilot stated that the a/c lost power during the descent after completing a parachute drop. The pilot was able to restart the engine during the descent, but lost power again on downwind for landing. The a/c crashed short of the runway after the pilot attempted an emergency landing at the airport. There appeared to be sufficient fuel in the a/c's tank during the investigation. The a/c engine was ran after the accident and performed normally throughout all parameters. It is suspected that the fuel may have unported from the main fuel line during a steep descent with speed brakes deployed and caused fuel starvation to the engine.
