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 pilot was on a VFR from kdsm, des moines international to tki, mckinney TX. The pilot intended to depart dsm on dec 25 but due to IFR conditions delayed until dec 29. The pilot?s departure time was planned 1130AM. Upon arriving at dsm the FBO was unable to move the aircraft out of the hanger. A hanger door multifunction delayed the pilot?s departure until 530PM.

The pilot stated the weather was forecasted vfr/mvfr on his route and he departed dsm with 80 gallons on the aircraft. At approximately 80-90 miles north of tki, the engine ran rough and engine power was lost. The pilot deployed the aircraft parachute at 950 MSL. The aircraft impacted the ground and skidded on a south easterly direction for about 30 yards. During the landing, the nose gear departed the aircraft

During the inspection of the aircraft a blue stain was on the top of the left wing. The left fuel tank cap was loosened slightly and fuel spilled out. I only allowed a small amount of fuel to escape. No fuel leaked on the ground. The right fuel tank cap was removed and no fuel could be seen in the tank. The fuel tank selection value was in the right tank position. The aircraft master switch was turned on and it showed the left tank to be full and the right to be empty. The engine oil seemed at a normal quantity.
