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) Airman was operating his personal airplane on a local sight-seeing flight. He was flying low over a river when he collided with a pair of unmarked power lines crossing the river at about 90 feet AGL. The first wire snagged his landing gear causing an uncontrollable descent nose first into the river.
