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.
Pilot had been cleared into position for takeoff. Pilot turned aircraft 90 degrees to prevailing wind, at which point control of the aircraft was lost. The right gear was lifted off the tarmac, at which point the left (front) part of the wingtip contacted the ground, just forward of the nav light. During the process, a prop strike incurred, inducing a q tip prop, winds were approximately 20 knots from the east, gusting to 38 knots. Another possible factor was the 210 was cleared into position immediately after a departing airliner.
