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) N6929B, a Beech bonanza, landed at platt valley (18V) on runway 33. The wind sock was straight down (calm). The pilot noticed a dust devil to the north. After refueling he dripped the tanks, did a complete checklist, and proceeded to the runway. The wind had increased and the wind sock was straight out favoring runway 15. He checked the performance tables and they showed approximately 2000 ft. required for liftoff at max gross weight. He was well under max gross. He checked CG limits and was well within the envelope. He ran the engine to full power and scanned the engine instruments. All was normal. The airplane accelerated to 80 KTS quickly, he rotated to a normal takeoff attitude. He slowly lifted off and immediately got a stall warning. He got about 3-5 feet above the runway and the aircraft rolled left striking the left wing tip. The aircraft settled back onto the runway and departed the runway on the left, striking a small embankment and becoming airborne again. He settled back onto the dirt and rolled about 100 yards before coming to a stop.
