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 July 15, 2020 at 1050 EDT, a dji, mavic 2 zoom L1Z UAS, serial # 0M6TG85R0A04ZP, ua fa registration # FA3RE7RNWP, registered to privacy data omitted (PIC), remote pilot certificate privacy data omitted, lost controlled flight in the area of privacy data omitted and hit a black nissan pickup truck bearing privacy data omitted traveling along tamiami trail in North Port causing property damage. The UAS was flown on a recreational flight over a construction site at privacy data omitted, using an automatic frequency selection feature that ranged from 2.400 - 2.4835 ghz; 5.725 - 5.850 ghz. Weather conditions were clear and are not considered a factor. The UAS was destroyed and the property damage was greater than $500. There were no personal injuries. The flight originated from privacy data omitted, earlier that day. While this incident meets FAA UAS accident criteria, it does not meet the NTSB?s UAS accident criteria. The NTSB would not issue a NTSB accident number for this event. Therefore, this event will be classified an incident.
