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.
Ch maintenance department returned the aircraft to service with the horizontal stabilizer trim in the full nose down position. The flight crew failed to notice the condition and attempted to take off. When the aircraft did not rotate as expected, the PIC aborted the take off and overran the end of the runway, striking the approach lighting structures.
