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: the pilot stated that when he touched down on the runway he bounced, then when he touched down again, he tried to regain control of the aircraft, and probably over controlled touching each wingtip to the runway and then going left then up on the nose. The wingtips were scraped, one propeller blade was bent back, and one wheel hub was bent. There were no injuries.
