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) The aircraft was departing runway 24 at approximately 2200 local. At rotation the aircraft left-hand horizontal control surface was struck and detached from the aircraft. The pilot continued the take off due to more deer ahead on the runway. At approximately 300' AGL the pilot noticed the loss of elevator control. A 180 degree turn was initiated and the power reduced. As the power was reduced the aircraft began to nose down. Power was restored and when the aircraft was over runway 06 and approximately 60' AGL the power was again reduced and the aircraft allowed to sink at a high rate of speed. The nose gear was dislodged causing the propeller and cowling to contact the ground. The wings display damage conclusive to a hard landing.
