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 November 11, 2006 at approximately 1530 CST N711A a BE-36-A36 departed chickasha ok on a VFR local flight. While over minco, OK (13 miles north of chickasha) the pilot said he noticed that smoke was emanating from underneath the panel. He also reported that the oil temperature gauge was "pegged." He then turned back to chickasha and was attempting to reach the airport. He became more concerned and made a distress call on 123.0 which was being guarded by an Oklahoma highway patrol unit. The pilot then attempted to make a precautionary landing in a wheat field. Final approach course was 315 degrees. Wind at chk was reported 170 at 14 KTS. The aircraft made initial ground contact with the left wing tip. Pieces of the left wing tip recognition light lens were found at this point. The aircraft then came down on the mains and nose gear shearing the nose gear off and folding the right main landing gear. The aircraft then began to rotate to the right as it slid on a 315 degree heading. The aircraft came to rest about 270 feet from the point of initial contact with the airplane on a 085 degree heading. The pilot/sole occupant sustained a minor head injury.
