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) During cruise phase of flight, the engine stalled resulting in an emergency landing onto a nearby field. Upon landing, the aircraft flipped over nose first onto its back due to the waist high grass of the field. At the time of the incident, it was determined that the owner did not possess a pilot certificate or medical certificate to operate this aircraft. He had recently purchased this experimental aircraft, removed the "n" number and attempted to de-register it. The owner had not completed all the steps and had not yet turned in the airworthiness certificate, but he did register and obtain a new aircraft number under the us ultralight association authorization. He stated he was conducting dual instruction in accordance with that authorization. A check of records indicates he is an authorized instructor through that association. The pilot privacy data omitted was counseled on the procedures to follow to ensure the aircraft de-registration process is completed properly. privacy data omitted
