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

Aircraft flaps were left in the landing position and could not clear power lines. Aircraft recovery from yaw/roll during landing and execution of missed approach go around not followed in accordance with aircraft flight manual and pilot flight training procedures.
