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) Pilot began to feel sick while taxiing out for departure. He stopped on the taxiway and rescue was called. Follow-up with the pilot indicates he head eaten a breakfast high in sugars and that his blood-sugar levels had fallen too low after his body responded to his originally high blood-sugar levels. He consulted his doctor who agreed it was simply an issue of eating a poor breakfast.
