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.

After takeoff from marr field airport (0OR7) approximately 0.7 miles south the pilot stated the aircraft had a rough running engine. He said he elected to reduce the power and land in an open area. He stated the field where he landed was wet and limited his ability to stop. He said that he had to apply the aircraft brakes fully to avoid a tree directly in front of the aircraft. This caused the aircraft to flip upside down and caused substantial damage to the rudder and vertical fin. The propeller was also damaged by stiking the ground. There were no injuries to the only occupant the pilot. privacy data omitted Of the NTSB raised the possiblity of having the engine run at a future date due to the rough running engine.
