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 takeoff roll from an off airport gravel bar, the aircraft hit some willows causing it to pull to the left hitting some trees. Substantial damage to the left wing, fuselage, nose gear, propeller, and engine. Unable to contact PIC privacy data omitted at this time. He is a school teacher and probably is gone for the summer. I will amend the 8020-23 when able to contact the PIC privacy data omitted.
