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 August 2, 2014, at 1742 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 182F, N1DZ, was destroyed when it collided with a tree and terrain during climbout following a banner pick-up at Heber Airpark, Gansevoort, new york. A witness who has been identified as the owner of the banner-tow company, stated the airplane departed to the east, circled, and returned for the banner pickup. This pickup was located to the left, and parallel to runway 24. The witness stated he used a hand held radio, prepared to provide flight path adjustments to the pilot for the banner pick-up, but the approach was perfect and the pick-up was successful. He then contacted the pilot to inform him that the banner was captured and looked good. The witness also stated the airplane did not climb as it normally would. He did not remember hearing the full power engine acceleration that is typical after a banner capture. The airplane climbed at a much shallower angle then what was anticipated, and drifted left of the runway heading. The airplane collided with a treetop, rolled inverted, and struck the ground nose down.
