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)A/c was damaged during a cross wind landing on runway 34R. The a/c apparently drifted to the right side of the runway, the right wing went down and scraped on the runway, then the propeller struck the runway, causing each of the blades to be curled back about 6/8 inches. The a/c then uprighted its self and the pilot taxied to jet west.
