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) Aircraft on the take-off roll veered left hit a snow berm, flipping on its back causing substantial damage to the airframe. There were no injuries involved in this accident. Unable to contact the PIC as he had been out of town. Will amend this form at a later date when I have talked to the PIC. The pilot privacy data omitted contacted me dec. 14, 2005. He stated that on takeoff at Merrill field the aircraft got away from him and he could not gain control enough to keep the aircraft from hitting the snow berm. There were no significant winds at the time to contribute to the accident.
