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 was on short final to runway 29 when the engine quit resulting in a hard landing 300' short of the runway. Shortly after the pilot called and updated the FAA with photos and data showing a clogged fuel filter with metal debris from the fuel tank installation.
