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 uncertificated pilot landed on runway 04. The aircraft bounced and on the second touch down the aircraft jerked to the left heading towards a fence. The uncertificated pilot then added power to climb up over the fence and in doing so, stalled the aircraft. The aircraft came down in a nose down attitude and slid across the road. The prop was torn off after digging into the road and the nose gear collapsed rearward. The aircraft slid approximately 40 feet across the road stopping about four feet from a telephone pole.
