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 10, 2007 a Dehavilland beaver (DHC-2) registered to hartley inc. and piloted by privacy data omitted was involved in an aircraft accident near becharof lake Alaska. According to the pilot he flew over the area locally known as bible camp to check wind conditions, the landing surface and length. During the landing on very short final at approximately 8 to 10 feet of altitude a gust of wind lifted the right wing to about 50 or 60 degrees. This is where the pilot stated the left wing tip may have struck the ground. The pilot corrected for the high wing attitude but landed in an uncoordinated position. The flight was operated under the provisions of part 135. The pilot and front seat passenger were uninjured. The rear seat passenger received an injury to his neck.
