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.
N56097, a Sprint II, experimental, landed in a field southeast of interstate 81 due to a lack of fuel and sustained damage. Pilot claims it was a precautionary in air shutdown and landing due to a high CHT but this appears not to be the case.
