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 July 16, 2002 at 0930 CDT, a CE-188, N4866Q operated by great plains aero, inc. and flown by tim w. mau, was substantially damaged during takeoff for an aerial application flight. The commercially rated pilot did not report any mechanical irregularities nor were any disclosed at the accident site, which indicated the aircraft was unable to climb out of ground effect during a take off from a private grass strip, resulting in a controlled flight into terrain while attempting to dump the load of chemical. The aircraft came to rest approximately 300 feet north of the departure end of the north/south runway. The aircraft was right side up on a heading of 100 degrees, the empennage had severed 3 feet behind the cockpit, as well as the engine and propeller. The left main gear had buckled, and damage sustained by both wings. The pilot reported no injuries.
