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) The pilot stated that she had taken delivery of the aircraft at the Cirrus design corporation factory, duluth, Minnesota, and received approximately ten hours of flight training there on June 14th and 15th. The landing on runway 20 at the Springfield-branson regional airport (sgf) on June 16th was only the pilot's second landing without an instructor on board. The airplane bounced on initial touchdown and ballooned approximately 100 feet high, whereupon she added power. She reported a strong left rolling movement and a high pitch attitude as the airplane struck the ground a second time and careened across the infield and onto the ramp, still under power, striking a parked and unoccupied swearingen SW-4. Both airplanes were substantially damaged, but there was no fire. The pilot received minor injuries, her husband was seriously injured, and the passenger refused medical treatment.
