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.
The pilot took off, with weather in the area. The pilot then noticed that there was fog and weather closing in on him and climbed above it.
The pilot then called his father and reported that he was on top of the fog and was going to fly north, to get out of the weather.
A short time later contact was lost and after a search, the plane wreckage was found between garwood and Eagle Lake Texas.
