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.

Pilot stated that he was on takeoff roll and he reached 50 knots on his airspeed indicator and he pulled on the yoke to lift the nose of the aircraft and he noticed no response to the yoke input, then he reached 65 knots airspeed and once again he wasn't getting response from the yoke. At that point he decided to abort the takeoff and reduced power and started applying braking power to control the aircraft, subsequently the aircraft went left off the runway causing the aircraft to jump over a small dirt mound and making the aircraft to jump up in the air and land on the entrance of a water canal near the runway on the left hand side.
