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.

Aircraft was at 3,000 AGL and coming out of a turn when the engine seized up and stopped. Pilot was able to glide the aircraft down to a safe, uneventful landing in a nearby bean field. The aircraft was not damaged and there were no injuries.
