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 pilot was practicing touch-and-goes on birch lake in his homebuilt/experimental Kingfisher aircraft.

The aircraft impacted the trees and was destroyed. The pilot sustained numerous broken bones. The aircraft was not registered and did not have an "n" number.
