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.

The prop struck the runway, and he performed a go-around and flew the aircraft to brookville hernado county airport (bkv), FL. He stated the oil pressure was normal, but the oil temperature was rising. He pulled back power to prevent overheating.
