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 departed ozark-franklin county airport (7M5), ozark, Arkansas, on a VFR flight to sedalia memorial airport (dmo), sedalia, Missouri. The fuel tanks were topped off prior to departure. Approximately three hours later, in the vicinity of Windsor, Missouri, the engine began to run intermittently, and the pilot elected to make a precautionary landing at Windsor municipal airport (M26), Windsor, Missouri, approximately 20 miles short of his destination. During the landing rollout on runway 20, the pilot applied excessive braking force, and the airplane nosed over, coming to a rest inverted. There was substantial damage to the airplane, and the pilot sustained serious injuries. Post-accident investigation revealed approximately three and one-half gallons of gasoline remaining in the fuel tanks, with no evidence of leakage or spillage. The airplane has a 46-gallon fuel capacity, of which five gallons are unusable, and a cruise fuel consumption of approximately 15 gallons per hour.
