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 January 11, 2017, at 0913 CST a Cessna 182T, c-gtbi, encountered icing conditions and heavy airframe accumulation of ice while enroute from saw to inl. The canadian, private, VFR rated pilot diverted to lnl and subsequently to grb due to deteriorating conditions in lnl. The aircraft stalled during landing flare at grb, impacting runway 18. The pilot as sole occupant received no injuries and the aircraft sustained substantial damage. The aircraft was being operated by the owner as a personal business flight under 14 CFR part 91, when the accident occurred. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The investigation revealed that the pilot had a similar encounter with icing conditions on the day prior to the accident flight.
