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) According to a statement from the pilot, after takeoff the aircraft did not seem to be climbing so he retarded the throttle to idle. The aircraft bounced twice, and began sliding to the right where it collided with a parked glider, causing minor damage to both aircraft.
