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.
Weather data obtained and used by airman to make his takeoff decision was not the actual weather at the time. Because of darkness he did not observe the low level clouds that were over the airport. As such, he inadvertently climbed into the clouds. He contacted ATC and was vectored to a VFR landing at another airport.
Airman was provided additional training under the school's (ecps) asap program.
Note: this was also assigned as a pilot deviation: PSOTPBI19027.
