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.
During climbout, pilot reported all instrument indications were normal then heard a thud like noise and the propeller abruptly stopped turning. Pilot landed aircraft on dirt/gravel road with no further incident. Examination of engine oil visual quantity indicator did not indicate any oil in crankcase.
