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)Pilot stated that in level flight at 2500 ft altitude the propeller seemed to surge, resulting in a loss of power. Realizing he could not make the airport (pwa), he executed a forced landing in an open field. Prior to touch down, the engine was making a loud banging noise. Minor damage was caused by the horizontal stabilizer contacting a fence post during the forced landing.
