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 June 24, 2025, at 13:15 p.m. CDT, a small twin-engine airplane experienced insufficient engine power while taking off from runway 20 and crashed landed in the grass about 865 ft short of the end of the runway and 110 ft to the left of the center line. The airplane went airborne over the runway for a short period of time before it went down. The airplane suffered substantial damage to the right wing and wing-tip tank, fractured both right engine mounting crossmember supports, buckled the aircraft’s nose, and the landing gear system collapsed. The pilot was the only occupant in the aircraft and suffered no physical injuries.
