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)During a crosswind landing approach at Arlington Municipal Airport, the a/c touched down on the left main landing gear first. The a/c encountered a right crosswind gust at that moment, turning it abruptly right and bringing the weight of the a/c down hard on the left main, veering it more right. The pilot applied power and regained directional control, but elected to let the a/c roll out on the grass adjacent to the runway since the left wing had dragged on the runway and sustained damage. There were no injuries and the damage was substantial.
