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 October 5, 2007, at 11:15 CDT, a CE-150H, N22899, collided with a power line while executing a takeoff from Clarksville Municipal Airport (H35), Clarksville, Arkansas. The commercial pilot/flight instructor and student pilot were not injured and the airplane sustained substantial damage. The aircraft was being operated as an instructional flight under 14 CFR part 91 when the accident occurred. The flight originated at the Clarksville airport at 11:15 CDT. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and a flight plan was not filed. The flight instructor stated the engine did not turn the propeller more than 2,000 RPM late in the takeoff. The airplane became airborne via ground effect. It was then too late to abort the takeoff, so he attempted to make it climb over a power line crossing the end of the runway. He could not go under the power line due to trees under the power line. The fort smith, AR weather observation at 1153Z was: wind 060/6K, vis 10, clear, 28C/22C, altimeter 30.04.
