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) While flying a cross country flight from lnk to gri @ 6500 feet MSL, the student pilot experienced total engine failure 10 nautical miles east of the gri airport. The pilot, the sole occupant, started the descent to keep the airspeed up. While losing altitude, the pilot made several attempts to restart the engine with negative results. During that time the pilot called ATC and declared an emergency. ATC out of gri cleared him to runway 17. Approximately 3 miles east of the airport the pilot realized he was not going to make the airport so he found a corn field and prepared to land. Turning to the north and after clearing a small grove of trees, the pilot made a no power landing in the corn field. Approximately 100 feet into the field, the nose gear started to catch in the rows of corn and caused the left wing to impact the ground. On impact with the left wing, the aircraft was pitched up into the air and spun 90 degrees landing on the right wing tip and facing due west. Damage to the aircraft consists of both wings are buckled near the fuselage, the propeller is bent, both wing tips are bent up and some structural damage to the fuselage. The pilot was not injured and was ableto exit the wreckage by himself.
