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.

Pilot reported a throttle control problem on the climb out followed by loss of power (flight idle power). On the emergency return to the airfield, airplane overrun rwy 6 and crashed into airport fence. No injuries were reported and the aircraft sustained substantial damage to flight controls (ruddervator), both leading edges of the wing, flaps, nose radome, nose landing gear doors and windshield. No obvious defects were found to explain the power loss. Aircraft requires further inspection to determine cause which the NTSB will perform.
