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 approach to landing at mev, the pilot experienced a glider below him and another glider off to one side. The pilot elected to extend downwind to give way to close in traffic. The turn to final was too FAR out and he could not make the runway. Landing short of the runway resulted in substantial damage.
