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.

Documents provided by pilot show he was current and qualified. Interviewed pilot and it seems like he followed all the procedures from engine start to emergency landing. No action will be taken against the pilot. Suspect mechanical issue, unable to complete further investigation at salvage yard, due to property owner objects to preforming work on his property, insurance concerns. NTSB has been notified and has not allotted further funds for aircraft teardown. No further FAA action at this time. Task closed, will reopen if necessary.
