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) While making an approach to runway 36 at the Jaars airport (N52) the pilot noticed he was too high on the approach and elected to conduct two "s" turns. During the second turn the aircraft stalled and settled in the trees 300 ft from the end of runway 36. Minor injuries were sustained by the pilot and substantial damage to the aircraft.
