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 airline transport rated pilot stated that after becoming airborne, approximately 10 feet, the aircraft "shook". He felt a loss of power and attempted to abort the takeoff. The abort maneuver subsequently resulted in an overrun, impact with the airport boundary fence, and finally came to rest in a field. The pilot was the sole occupant on board and did not receive any injuries. The aircraft experienced substantial damage. The airplane is registered to tobe gooden, the pilot in command, of spring, Texas. An air traffic controller from the lit ATCT, observed the takeoff and abort. He reported seeing a "puff of smoke" come from the aircraft at approximately the same time it lifted off. Day visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and an IFR flight plan was filed for the 14 code of federal regulations part 91 flight. The flight originated in Little Rock, Arkansas, with an intended destination of bloomington, Indiana.
