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 landing touchdown the aircraft bounced and the right wing and nose raised causing the pilot to initiate a go around. When full power was applied the engine quit and the pilot lost control. The aircraft impacted the runway then slide sideways off the runway into vegitation causing minor damage to the aircraft.
