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.

(-23) The PIC was making a full flap landing at Aurora airport. The aircraft stalled approx. 5 feet above the runway causing the a/c to bounce. The PIC tried to arrest the secondary bounce by adding power. The application of power caused the left wing to drop sufficiently to strike the ground, causing substantial damage to the left wing tip.
