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 January 29,2009, about 1450 eastern standard time inspector privacy data omitted and I were at the Berkeley County Airport for a routine surveillance. After several ramp inspections a pilot came over and stated that an aircraft had just crashed off the end of the runway 23. Neither one of us saw the accident or heard any noise. We turned and saw the N224SB as described by the local pilot, we both immediately responded. The pilot was still alive when we arrived, EMS responed in a very short time and removed the pilot from the wreckage and we were advised about 20 minutes later that the pilot was now deceased. The preliminary radar and voice communication date proved by the chs ATC showed that the accident airplane departed chs about 1440, and shortly thereafter began tracking in a northwesterly climb, toward 14A. About 1446, the pilot advised ATC, "I have some fumes in the cockpit, I'm turning around." The pilot then advised the controller that he was going to divert to mks, and was subsequently was issued a frequency change. No further communications were recieved from the pilot.
