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.

The aircraft is now N34DG, s/n SQ-01. I have received records on both "n" numbers from okc. Mr. Hiatt says he has current medical but can't find it. NTSB had carburator tested and found to be adjusted too lean to support engine idle.
