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) Pilot hoyt a. tatum, 563834, attempted to depart Jackass Aeropark, U75, from the 2100 ft long taxiway in Cessna 310I, N8199M. Upon examination of the taxiway it was noted that the left main langing gear contacted the surface of the taxiway at approximately 1500 feet from the shade hangar area. There are 3 separate contact marks in succession indicating that the plane had bounced back into the air before the final contact. On the final ground contact the right main landing gear sheared at the piston portion causing the landing gear cylinder to dig into the ground thus pivoting the plane to the right. The nose and left main landing gear collapsed to the rear of the plane but remained attached to the airframe. The right wing tip, lower surface contacted the ground as did the right propeller. Both blades on the right propeller were bent towards the rear of the engine nacelle. The left wing tip did not contact the ground. The left propeller had one blade bent towards the rear of the engine nachelle. (Continued on additional sheet). No additional sheet attached.
