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) On June 20, 2001, N1477R, a Grumman American trainer aircraft, crashed during a landing attempt causing substantial damage to the aircraft. There were no injuries to the pilot (only occupant). This was ruled an incident and not an accident by airworthiness inspectors. During an interview with the pilot, he stated that he did not know what happened as everything happened so quickly. Pilot was very upset but cooperative.
