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 Grumman ag-cat departed with a load of fertilizer. While enroute to the target area, the #7 cylinder on the R-1340 failed. This resulted in a partial loss of power. The pilot landed on a dirt road next to an irrigated field. The main wheels entered soft mud and the aircraft flipped over.
