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) This narrative was developed through an on scene interview of the pilot by personnel of the allegheny FSDO. The pilot stated she left the greene county airport (kway) on her first solo flight away from her home field to the Washington county airport (kafj). After overflying kafj she then attempted to fly to the connellsville airport (2G3). Enroute to 2G3, she became disoriented and decided to land in an open field to call for help. Upon touchdown, she hit a small knoll in the field, which caused her to become airborne. The aircraft then fell through and landed hard causing damage to the landing gear, propeller, and left wing tip.
