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) Due to the pic's injuries, we are unable to obtain all needed information on this accident. PIC is released from the hospital and recovering slowly. Note:(n-nbr correction). Update: on June 5, 2001 about 5:45 pm, PIC departed his airstrip with a load of fertilizer. Due to a bad weather building up and rain in the area, PIC was forced to return and land with approximately a full load of fertilizer (1000 lbs). Upon landing PIC applied rakes and the right brake failed. PIC, once realizing he couldn't stop, proceeded to take back off with a tail wind. The north end of the strip (across the hwy) had a set of powerlines, trees, a fence, mailbox and house in his path. PIC was unable to maneuver around all the objects and hit the trees losing about three feet of left wing. The plane rolled to the left and inverted and went down into the trees. The plane caught fire and was destroyed.
