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 Sunday, April 20th at approximately 0830 local time, the airman departed Concord Municipal Airport (con) in Concord, NH with the intent to remain in the traffic pattern for landing practice. He stated that he conducted take-off and landing operations until approximately 1100 local when he landed to troubleshoot an issue with radio volume. The airman departed again at approximately 1130 to continue landing practice.

On final approach to the landing runway, the airman was unable to maintain alignment with the runway centerline. He attempted a go-around and lost control of the aircraft. It impacted the runway to the west of the marked surface and came to rest with the nose facing up. Substantial damage to the aircraft was sustained in the following manner:

-The lifting canopy of the aircraft was highly deformed along the entire surface

-The foot controls were deformed and there was significant damage to the hand flight controls and front of the passenger compartment

-The nose landing gear was completely collapsed and the main gear were deformed

-One blade of the composite propeller detached from the hub and embedded in the ground next to the runway. The other was cracked but remained attached

Testing the continuity of flight controls was not possible due to damage sustained.
