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.

(Flagstaff area) because he was unable to climb a/c over 8500' mountain area due to hot & high (92 degrees f/to 60' MSL) density alt. That day. Gusty wind conditions caused a/c to veer off to right damaging r/h wing tip and propeller. Pilot was not injured (no passengers) and there was no fire.
