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 may 24, 2013 N23830, a Beechcraft sundowner C-23 s/n M-2002 attempted take off on grass rwy 19 in Burlington Wisconsin (kbuu) at 1640 CST. ABOUT1000 feet into the take off the pilot decided to abort the take off. The aircraft rolled out about 200 feet past the end of runway markers and ran through a small waterway swail. The nose landing gear collapsed causing the propeller to strike the ground. The pilot and two passengers were on board and deplaned without injury or further incident. The aircraft was towed to a local hangar.
