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.

What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The first officer flew the initial portion of an ILS approach to runway 9L at sfb, Florida. At dh when the flying pilot indicated that he did ot have the runway in sight, in lieu of a go-around, the captain elected to attempt a recovery of misalignment with runway 9L. The attempt required an excessive bank angle causing the left wing to strike the runway. In addition to the impacted left wing, the contact with the runway of the left main gear was extremely abrupt resulting in a decision to go-around. The transfer of the flight controls for runway re-alignment at a critical altitude was poor judgement. The primary reason for this incident was the unsuccessful attempt to land under unstable conditions.
