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) While making a takeoff during a "touch and go" the engine began to lose power over the numbers on the departure end of the runway at approximately 300-400 feet above field elevation. A turn was made in an effort to land in an adjacent field. While landing in the field the nose wheel struck a ditch and turned the aircraft upside down. Fuel was in the tanks and in the fuel line to the engine. On visual inspection, no contamination of the fuel was noted in the fuel filters.
