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)Prior to take off while taxiing the pilot experienced a skip on the engine. He performed the pre take off run up and the problem cleared up after cycling the magnetoes. During the take off climb he experienced the skip in the engine again and aborted the take off from approximately 100 to 200 feet AGL with about 1/3 of the runway remaining. The aircraft came down at a steep angle contacting the runway with the nose wheel, bouncing and hitting the nose wheel again off the end of the runway causing the aircraft to flip over coming to rest upside down.
