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.

Shortly after takeoff and during climbout, at about 650' AGL, (approx 1 minute into flight) the aircraft began to violently shake as one prop blade had departed the aircraft. Pilot retarded throttle, pitched forward and prepared for off-field landing. The pax is a 30K+ hour ATP / CFI and assisted with the emergency. Pilot was able to execute 180 degree turn and return to airport, landing without incident.
