The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On October 14, 2019 at approximately 11:34AM, N850NK, a Socata tbm 700 crashed while attempting to land at Breckenridge Airport (bkd). While on approach, the pilot reported the aircraft began to "sink" faster than normal and then noticed he had no rudder authority. He added power and the aircraft began to roll left. He was able to regain partial control but his altitude was to low. The aircraft impacted a row of trees and fencing before coming to a rest approximately 200 yards from initial impact. The pilot and passenger exited the aircraft through the emergency hatch due to the main cabin door being jammed. The aircraft was partially consumed by a post impact fire. The pilot and passenger suffered no injuries
