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) On March 28, 2001, Cessna 180, aircraft N91303, sustained substantial damage on landing at a remote site 60 miles west of Iliamna, Alaska. The aircraft operated FAR part 91 was piloted by owner albert novak. On landing the wheel/ski-equipped aircraft (landing on snow) struck a dry clump of dirt, that in turn failed the right landing gear; this also damaged the right wing and propeller. This flight was conducted under VFR flight rules and weather was not a factor. The pilot reported that the aircraft was operating normally prior to the accident.
