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.

While on final approach to runway 32 at Kamiah (S73) the pilot was intending to perform a soft-field landing. The final approach was set up with an expected 5 to 6 KTS head wind. When the pilot noticed the un-expected sink rate due to a wind change, she added power and pitched up, but still struck a barbed-wire fence at the end of the runway.
