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; 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 a/c, N86BE, was cleared for vor-a approach to the marianna, FL. Airport. Visual meteorological conditions existed, and over the VOR the pilots reported the airport in sight and canceled IFR. The airport is located 4 NM on the 316 radial from the mal-vor. The pilots entered a tight right base leg for rwy 36 and overshot the centerline. Witness reported the a/c very low in a right turn and suddenly pitched nose up just prior to impacting the trees which are located west of the center line rwy 36. The a/c cut through the trees for approx. 574 feet before the right wing impacted an embankment next to a paved road. The a/c caught fire, flipped, and slid approx. 800 feet along the road before coming to rest on its belly. The a/c burned completely forward of the engines. The engines were removed and sent to Garrett to determine condition at impact.
