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.

(.19)On June 8, 2001, about 1942 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 172M, N64429, registered to pan air flying club, inc., crashed during a go-around at kendall-Tamiami executive airport, Miami, Florida, while on a 14 CFR part 91 personal flight.

The airplane then skidded across the runway into the grass adjacent to the runway, where it nosed over and came to rest. (-23)pilot was directed to execute missed approach. He began to go around when the tower observed a hard left turn, the aircraft left wing contacted the runway, and the nose landing gear sheared. The aircraft heading at tim e of impact was approximately 70 degrees to the left of runway heading. The tower personnel felt the aircraft stalled prior to the hard left turn. The aircraft skidded off the runway and flipped over. Pilot and passengers evacuated the aircraft, unassisted by emegency personnel. Only minor injuries were received by the pilot and one passenger.
