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.
After bouncing along on the ice of a large lake to test for strength, pilot landed. Aircraft had 31" tires and on roll-out the main landing gear tires broke through the ice. The tail wheel stayed on top of the ice, the nose of the aircraft pitched down, causing the prop to strike the ice.
