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.

As they approached krst, the weather was reported as: winds 140@12, 1/4SM R31/1000V1200 fg VV001 03/02 A2994.the pilot initially was going to divert to ktob, but when the weather there went below minimums, he received vectors for kaum. During his divert to kaum, he heard a Cessna citation successfuly complete the approach into krst. He then asked for and was cleared for the ILS 13 krst. The aircraft crashed approximately .70SM on a 270 bearing from the threshold of runway 13 at krst. The aircraft impacted a plowed corn field on its right main wheel and right wingtip. It then continued a short distance where it impacted on its nose, causing the aircraft to flip onto its back. The aircraft came to a rest on its back, pointed in the opposite direction of flight. The pilot, student pilot, and two passengers exited the aircraft through the side windows. There was no post crash fire. Pilots flight hours in make and model information (BLOCK31) was not provided by the pilot's attorney. Legal counsel advised not persuing at this time.
