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.

Narrative: Mr. Brown, the pilot, was on a cross country flight with one passenger in aircraft N3756K, a GC1-B globe swift aircraft. He stated that he attempted an approach for landing on runway 26 and decided that there was too much crosswind, so he executed a go-around. He then stated that he made a pattern for runway 14. On landing, he said he got a large gust of wind from the right and he apparently corrected too much to the left and veered off of the runway. The right main landing gear collapsed.
