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 pilot, privacy data omitted, stated that he flew the aircraft around the road and saw some cows standing against a fence. The pilot started to land the aircraft and started his flare when he pulled up to miss a cow that walked on the road. The left tire glanced off of the cow and that put the aircraft into a hard left yaw. The pilot put full power to the aircraft and applied left rudder to straighten the aircraft. The aircraft hit hard and bounced the aircraft back up in the air. The aircraft had no airspeed and was in a stall.

The aircraft was on the road but he ran out of road and went over a hill and threw a fence and came to a stop. Damage to the left horizontal stabilizer aircraft is substanual the propeller received a small dent on the probably due to hitting the barb wire. The engine fire firewall received damage
