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.

Aircraft lost engine power contacted terrain 0.2 NM short of runway 17 and came to rest approximately 0.17 NM short of the runway.

Trace amounts of fuel were found in right wing tank. Right wing tank bladder had several creases longitudinally. However, this did not contribute to the fuel starvation. Approximately 25 gallons of fuel found in the left wing tank. Throttle and mixture were moved forward and the electric boost pump was turned on. When the fuel selector was switched to the left tank, sufficient fuel flow was noted on the cockpit instrument panel.
