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 was going to practice an aborted takeoff and did not intend to be airborne. The aircraft did break ground and became airborne. Due to ground effect, he could not put the aircraft back down immediately. By the time he got the airplane back on the runway he did not have enough distance to stop the aircraft. The aircraft passed the end of the runway and flipped over.
