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.

During landing in a frontal quartering crosswind, pilot loss control of aircraft, just before touchdown. Aircraft decended side ways with right gear and right wing tip striking runway surface first. Aircraft skidded sideways. Right MLG broke off aircraft and prop struck the surface.
