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-in-command departed turner, Maine at approximately 1245 hours for a flight to a Private airstrip in Palermo, Maine. The pilot made an approach to runway 9 at Palermo and realized he was too fast to touch down within the first third of the runway. He elected to go around. The pilot applied power but he realized he could not clear the trees on the departue end of the runway. He closed the throttle and landed approximately 4/5'S down the runway. The airplane contacted the trees and pivoted on the nose gear to a certical position then resettled on its landing gear. The propeller sustained damage to both blade ends and the right left wing root fairing and flap were slightly damaged. The right wing outer leading edge was slightly indented.
