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

(-23) The aircraft departed Pauls Valley Municipal Airport at 6:40 pm, on October 5, 2003, to conduct touch and go landings. The pilot departed runway 35 and executed a touch and go. The pilot came to a complete stop on the second landing and taxied around for another takeoff. The pilot again departed runway 35. Airborne at the end of runway 35 the aircraft lost power, and would not maintain altitude. The pilot started a shallow turn to the left to attempt a crosswind landing on runway 12 and realized it was going to be close and then decided to attempt a landing on a road or grass field with fences.
