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)Based on the investigation and witness statements it appears that the pilot of N6522N attempted to roll the aircraft on final approach to runway 17 at the scott city municipal airport. This attempt was unsuccessful in that the aircraft impacted on the Missouri pacific railroad tracks approximately .5 miles north of the runway (see map). Investigation of the aircraft wreckage revealed no indication of mechanical irregularities and control surface continuity was verified to the extent possible. Review of the aircraft maintenance logs indicates that the aircraft was within annual inspection. Therefore, there are no airworthiness considerations of concerns. (.19)on may 15, 2001, about 2035 central daylight time, a Bellanca 14-13-3, N6522N, piloted by a commercial pilot, was destroyed on impact with terrain and post impact fire following a maneuver near scott city municipal airport (2K9), near scott city, Kansas. The personal flight was operating under 14 CFR part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. No flight plan was on file. The pilot was fatally injured. The local flight originated from 2K9 at time unknown.
