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.

Bang and the engine began to shake. He immediately aborted the take off. He

Thought the alternator belt broke. He got out of the plane and found a

Puncture hole in the empennage directly below the propeller and a 6? Portion of one of the propeller tips was missing.
