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 takeoff from runway 21L, the aircraft failed to climb at a normal rate. When the pilot was questioned by the tower, the pilot reported that he was having an unspecified problem and attempted to return to the airport. The tower and witnesses report that the aircraft entered into a banked turn. The aircraft collided with ground obstacles during a forced landing approximately one mile from the end of runway 21L. The aircraft burned extensively after the impact. Witnesses also report that aircraft located outside on the airport overnight had about 1/4 to 1/2 inches of ice adhering to the upper parts of all aircraft. The recorded airport temperature was 0 degrees 'c' 9 minutes after the accident. At this time, no causal factors are known.
