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 crashed in a field 3 miles southwest of the airport. The aircraft suffered substantial damage and ended up inverted. The lone occupant suffered serious injuries to his arm and head. The pilot stated to others, that he was unable to maintain airspeed. The pilot attempted an emergency landing in a field. The field was too rough and the undercarriage came off on first impact. The engine then separated and the aircraft came to rest inverted with the left wing folded along the side of the aircraft. The fuel system was compromised during the event. Flight and engine control continuity was established. The aircraft and engine were later examined by NTSB with inconclusive results.
