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.

On November 19, 2012 at approximately 0618 local saipan time, N4267R, a Piper pa 32-300, s/n 32-40641 on a 14 CFR part 135 on demand flight crashed and was destroyed while taking off from runway 7 at the saipan international airport (pgsn). Visual meteorological condition prevailed at the time of the accident. The aircraft had previously taken off from the saipan airport (pgsn) at 0609 local saipan time for a flight to tinian (pgwt). Just after leaving the shore line of saipan, at approximately 1700 feet MSL and on a course paralleling runway 7/25, the pilot contacted the tower and requested an immediate return to the saipan airport. When asked by the tower if the pilot needed emergency services the pilot responded that emergency services were not required. After returning to the saipan airport at approximately 0615 and landing on runway 7, the pilot exited at bravo intersection. The tower controller commented that this was the second time for you in two weeks; the pilot responded "ya, just checking quirks and anomalies, make sure things are good to go, would like to do a quick run up." The pilot completed a 180 degree turn facing runway 7. After completing the engine run up, the pilot requested clearance for a second take off on runway 7 at approximately 0618 local time. The pilot was given clearance to depart runway 7. During his takeoff when the aircraft was approximately 100 feet in the air and past delta intersection, the pilot made a short transmission to the tower "would like." The aircraft completed a left turn towards runway 24 and impacted the terrain to the west of runway 24. The impact of the aircraft was in a nose down, left wing down attitude. The left wing departed the aircraft and major structural damage occurred on the left front side of the fuselage. The fuselage came to rest in a row of trees on the north side of the airfield. Fire consumed the cabin section of the fuselage. One passenger in the right front seat was fatally injured; the pilot and 5 other passengers received medical attention. Saipan commonwealth ports authority aircraft rescue and fire fighting crews responded to the emergency call from the saipan tower and were on scene of the accident within minutes.
