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) The aircraft lost power upon turning final. The aircraft landed short of the runway due to loss of power. The reason for the power loss is not known at this time. More information will be sent in an amendment when it is obtained. The damage was limited to the nose gear and a slight bend on the prop. The engine will be inspected at a further date for more damage. There was wrinkling on the bottom of the wing near the struts, but after research the damage was found to be from a prior accident.
