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.

On 03/09/09, second pilot/owner of a 1998 glassair siis-ft N47NR stated that it was his first flight in the aircraft and his first flight since 2001 so he required flight instruction for both the aircraft and to prepare for his bi-annual review. Second pilot/owner stated he was on approach to r. l. Jones airport (rvs) for touchdown and he flared the aircraft too soon and had power back in anticipation for touchdown. Second pilot stated that the airspeed quickly dissipated as the nose came up, at which time the instructor said to add power. Second pilot stated power was added but the rate of descent was to great. Second pilot stated that the aircraft veered to the left due to addition power and insufficient rudder input to counter. Second pilot stated the aircraft then hit the ground off the left side of the runway 19R, flat, catching the nose gear which made the aircraft pitch forward and the prop struck the ground. Second pilot stated the aircraft then came to a halt right side up. Second pilot stated as he exited the aircraft he could see smoke coming from under the engine cowling which started a grass fire. N 47NR S/N2282 was consumed by fire and destroyed.
