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 Monday, October 28, 2019, at approximately 1655 EDT, an experimental Loehle Sport Parasol aircraft, registration n-number N4347C, was involved in an incident when it made a hard landing at the red stewart airfield in Waynesville, Ohio (40I). The aircraft departed the red stewart airfield (40I) at approximately 1645 EDT. Improper landing technique led to a hard landing resulting in a gear collapse.

The pilot, privacy data omitted, a sport pilot (certificate number privacy data omitted), stated that he had taken the aircraft for a lap in the traffic pattern prior to this last flight and made a hard landing. After checking the aircraft over he stated that he took off for another couple of landings and made another hard landing resulting in the gear collapsing. He also stated that this aircraft had not flown in approximately 10 years and it had recently completed a condition inspection. The aircraft has minor damage.

FAA airworthiness inspector inspected the incident aircraft?s engine and engine components, propeller and assembly, and fuel system post-accident. During the post-accident investigation of the aircraft, no abnormalities were noted and evidence suggest the engine was running when the aircraft and propeller made contact with the ground.

The warren county john lane field (I68), which is 7NM southwest of 40I, weather observation reported the weather at 1453 EDT to be 10 statute miles of visibility, clear skies, temperature of 18 degrees celsius, and winds out of the southwest at 9 knots.
