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) On December 5th, 1999, at about 1530 Alaska standard time, a ski equipped Taylorcraft F-19 airplane, N3719T sustained substantial damage during takeoff from a remote airstrip, located near talaheim lodge. The airman stated that just after touchdown, he realized that the snow was deeper than anticipated, and applied full takeoff power to initiate a go around. During the takeoff run, the left ski struck a buried log, causing the aircraft noseover. The aircraft received substantial damage.
