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 enroute from glendale (geu), AZ to Wickenburg (E25), AZ the engine lost power and engine RPM stabilized @ 2300 @ 3500 ft (MSL). The pilot elected to make a precautionary landing @ aux #2, an auxillary field (weeded over) sometimes used by luke afb. With luke tower on the radio the pilot maneuvered for the landing which resulted in the l/h wing tip contacting a mesquite tree scraping the l/h gear and damaging the propeller. Coming to rest (upright), there were no injuries to the pilot or his only passenger, his young (8 yrs. Old) son.
