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.

The engine was secured and the prop was feathered. Kansas city center was notified and the decision was made to land at klqr due to proximity. The aircraft landed safely at klqr with no injuries. A teardown inspection report is being prepared by crs# VAIR551K but has not been provided yet. This form will be updated once this office receives the report, if nessary.
