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) On July 27, 2006, at approximately 1314 CDT, a Cessna 140, was performing a second landing at rvs when just after landing the tail wheel separated from the aircraft. The aircraft was landing on rwy 19L and the pilot noticed a moderate pull to the left (left rudder), the aircraft exited the rwy in the grass area about 2000 feet after touchdown and came to a stop. The aircraft received very little damage (minor) to the tail area, and there were no injuries reported. The flight was conducted to provide training for a tail wheel endorsement and the pilot privacy data omitted was the CFI providing this instruction. The pilot who was receiving instruction stated to the owner that the aircraft had a high sink rate and bounced (had hard landing).
