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.

The pilot reported that fuel in one tank was depleted and that he did not switch the fuel selector to the other tank. As a result, the aircraft conducted an off-field landing. The landing caused damage to the aircraft, including dents and scratches to the belly and the loss of an antenna, which was ripped from the airframe.
