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.

On November 30, 2023 the pilot in command (PIC) of privacy data omitted stated they were giving duel instruction to a student pilot. They departed sheboygan memorial airport (ksbm) around 14:30PM (CST) and before flying the aircraft they checked and had approximately 45 gallons of fuel. The PIC estimated that they flew for about 45 min when they noticed a performance change in the aircraft and something was not normal. They pulled the carb heat on and did not notice a change in RPM then pushed the carb heat off. Using their your resources you determined that Manitowoc Airport (kmtw) was approximately seven miles away and sheboygan was about 14 miles so they decided to go to mtw. While approaching mtw it was recognized that they were not going to make the field so they looked for the best place to do a forced landing and stay clear of people the aircraft hit trees on a ridge which caused it to flip over and come to rest on a steep incline into a valley.
