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.

Investigation: on 06/08/2022 the slc FSDO was informed of an accident that took place on 06/07/2022 at 2000 mountain daylight time. The accident took place in aircraft registered as privacy data omitted a C-150. The pilot in command (PIC) of privacy data omitted landed on a road in an oil field 8 miles south of fort duchesne. The aircraft became stuck in soft sand off to the side of the road and poly pipe used by the oil field after landing. The PIC and passenger pushed the aircraft out of the sand. After the aircraft was pushed out of the initial spot where it got stuck the PIC got into the cockpit without the passenger and attempted to give the aircraft power to ensure he was back on solid ground. Upon adding power, the aircraft traveled across the ground before the front tire of the aircraft dug down into soft sand once again which caused the aircraft to nose over onto the propeller and then ultimately come to rest upside down. The PIC was the only occupant of the aircraft at the time of the accident.
