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.

The length of this field is 3,300 feet running on a north/south axis. The aircraft lifted off at about 2000 feet takeoff roll however failed to climb adequately to clear a fence at the end of the runway. The main landing gear struck the fence and came to rest (unspecified) distance from the fence. An airframe and powerplant mech., a Mr. Brock, inspected the damage to the landing gear and right wing tip and reported that this damage was of a "minor" nature. (This information was passed on to "john lovel" of the NTSB as reported by FAA inspector Mr. Bob ylla.)
