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.

A private pilot certificated the end of August 2010 with 58 hours of experience, purchased a Bellanca 260 (bl 1419-3) and obtained a high performance / complex aircraft endorsement after 2 flights in September 2010. With 28 hours of Bellanca experience acquired in 3 months, the new private pilot lost control of the BL-1419-3 while practicing take-offs and landings at Clovis municipal airport (cvn). On the 4th landing the pilot carried too much airspeed while correcting for a right crosswind. The pilot touched down at about 2300 feet down the runway and when he released the backpressure on the yolk, the nose-wheel touched, and the aircraft veered to the left, departing the runway. The pilot applied power, but was not able to accomplish a go-around. The aircraft landing gear was damaged when it crossed a drainage ditch, the left wing was damaged when it sheared off a runway marking sign and the propeller and engine were damaged as the aircraft ground looped and slid to a stop on its belly along the edge of a taxiway.
