## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

AT APPROXIMATELY 2PM ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2021,THE PIC EXPERIENCED A DRONE MALFUNCTION AT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^. UPON TAKING OFF THE PIC COMMENCED OPERATIONS FROM THE SAME PLACE AS BEFORE. SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF WHILE IN A HOVER RIGHT ABOVE THE TAKE OFF APPROXIMATELY 200FT,THE REMOTE CONTROL SCREEN WAS PROMPTED "MAGNETIC INTERFERENCE" AND THEN THE AIRCRAFT DISCONNECTED AND SCREEN WENT BLACK. AS THE PIC LOOKED UP FROM THE REMOTE CONTROL TO SPOT THE DRONE HOVERING ABOVE, THE DJI INSPIRE 2 DRIFTED TOWARDS A BUILDING MAKING CONTACT WITH THE BUILDING AND FELL TO THE GROUND.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
