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.

Pilot flew into a pancake break fast at the Milaca airport on 08/08/2010. When he departed he did a low pass over the runway. When he did this the aircraft engine sputtered and started to have power loss. He Mr. Larson was going too fast and was unable get the aircraft to stop on the runway. He touched down on the runway and added what power he had left and went around. In the air the aircraft produced some power and he was able to climb to about 600 feet AGL and the engine started to lose power again and he was unable to land on the runway and he put the aircraft into a corn field 3/4 mile south of runway 16 at 18Y Milaca, Mn Airport. We were unable to locate the aircraft due to the height of the corn and the pilot Mr. Larson was going to leave the aircraft in the field until the farmer cut down the corn. On 10/06/2010 we were advised that they cut down the corn and we went to look at the aircraft N770F a MS-733. We looked at the aircraft and noticed minor damage to the belly from striking the corn. We also looked at the aircraft engine. Inspector privacy data omitted noticed that 1/2 of the spark plugs were covered with oil and he explained that the engine would not produce full power with this if much of any power. In reviewing the aircraft records the aircraft was operated outside the operating limitations of the aircraft carying passengers. Also the aircraft was operated without an annual condition inspection multiple times.
