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 stated that engine began running rough, at about 2500 ft. MSL, during climbout to cruise altitude. Engine roughness progressively increased and aircraft was unable to maintain altitude. Pilot accomplished a forced landing to an unprepared area. During landing, aircraft hit several small trees and came to rest in a swampy area. Unable to determine cause of engine roughness at accident scene. Further analysis pending engine teardown inspection.
