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 pilot was taxiing a gyroplane at the Longmont Vance Brand Airport 6/01/09. He was practicing rotor management with no intent to fly. He had the rotors tilted to the side instead of into the wind and the gust of wind came up causing him to roll onto the side of the taxi way.
