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.

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

He stated he "ran out of fuel." He then performed an emergency landing in a pasture. The landing resulted in substantial damage to the aircraft and minor injuries to the pilot. The FAA was notified of the accident by the murray county sheriffs office on August 11, 2009 at approximately 0930 (LCL). The pilot was contacted at 0945 (LCL) for details of the accident. The pilot stated he had moved the aircraft to his property already. He also stated the aircraft was a single passenger ultralight. Inspection of the aircraft was performed on August 12, 2009.
