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) By following the fresh tire marks on the 2,800 ft. grass strip, it was apparent that the aircraft initially touched down heading north at the approx. midpoint of the runway, bounced several times, departed the west side of the runway, crossed a gravel service road, and continued north for approx. 100 hundred yards before the tire marks disappeared approx. 100 ft. south of wampler's lake rd. the tire marks left as a result of the bounces had burned the grass to the dirt. Further inspection of the grass strip failed to produce any rubber tire material or other aircraft parts. An inspection of the aircraft revealed: that the aircraft cockpit, cabin, and part of the wings/fuselage had been consumed by fire; that all flight controls were in place; that all flight control cables were attached; that the throttle and mixture controls were in the full forward position; that the seats were secure in the seat tracks; that both brake caliper assemblies were in place; that there was evidence of melted rubber on both main wheel rims; that the nose gear assy. Had departed the wreckage and that the nose wheel was intact and under pressure.
