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.

PIC stated that on landing on Private grass landing strip, the wind started pushing aircraft to the right. A correction was made with pedal and brakes. This resulted in the left gear breaking away from the aircraft and the aircraft ground looped to the left.
