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 June 15, 2016, at 21:22 MDT, N60189, a Beechcraft model BE77, S/N-WA-7 airplane registered to the pilot was on a cross country flight from Santa Fe, new Mexico enroute to boise, Idaho, under visual flight rules. The aircraft departed Santa Fe, (saf) airport on runway 20 heading south and then turning northeast with a density altitude of 8300 feet, an OAT of 76F degrees and wind at 110 degrees@4 knots. After takeoff, the aircraft failed to climb and was unable to maintain adequate terrain separation. The aircraft was airborne approximately fifteen (15) minutes and had traveled approximately four (4) miles north of the airport (saf), when the PIC decided to land on n.m. state highway 599 near c.r. 70. During the landing, the aircraft?s left wing impacted a traffic direction sign while the pilot maneuvered to avoid a car on the highway. The aircraft stopped in the median of the highway. The damage to the left wing was substantial. The left aileron was torn from its outboard attachment, rendering it inoperative and wrinkling the wing skin throughout the left wing. There were no injuries to the pilot or the passenger.
