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 stated airspeed indicator did not respond on initial t/o roll. He continued t/o and airspeed (a/s) responded. After t/o he noted the a/s began to drop. He leveled out above the runway to increase a/s. he said a/s continued to drop, he glanced at this tack, and noted the RPM had dropped from 2500 to 2100. He put the acft back on the ground and cut power. He could not stop the acft on the snowy grass. The acft hit a runway light, a sign, and continued for a total of 1566 feet on the ground before impacting a stump with the nose gear, which flipped the acft. Preliminary investigation and inspection of the engine could not verify an engine operational problem. The pitot system was checked for leaks and/or debris, and none were found. The a/s indicator was shipped to the NTSB for testing. The aircraft had an annual inspection on 07-27-00 at 1324 hrs total time, and was determined to be airworthy. NTSB is continuing the investigation.
