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.

Aircraft was in flight for about 20 minutes when the engine shut-off, the pilot's were unsucessful to re-start the engine and landed the aircraft in a cow pasture. The aircraft re-started on the ground but due to the ground condition, the aicraft is unable to "take-off" from the location.I verified the left wing/fuel tank was about 1/2 full and the right wing/fuel tank is about 3/4 full. The aircraft had to be partially disassembled and put on a flat bed truck to be removed from the scene.
