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 reported that he had never landed at the Cinnabar Strip before and did two passes over the strip prior to landing, one high and one low. He determined that the wind favored a landing uphill to the west. He stated that the runway was approximately 1,400 foot long by approximately 35 feet wide. He stated that there was an additional 600 feet available which appeared marginal but usable, overgrown with some brush and narrow. He touched down on this area of the runway, rolled approximately 200 yards, when the right wing struck brush. The brush pulled the airplane further into the brush where he pulled back on the throttle, however, the airplane stopped approximately 15 feet into the brush with the tail surface remaining over the runway. The aircraft sustained substantial damage to the right leading edge of the wing and collapsed the nose gear.
