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 July 29, at about 1945 hours Alaska standard time, an Aeronca 7AC airplane, N82559, received minor damage during a landing at the Skwentna Airport, Skwentna, Alaska. The airman stated that after touchdown the aircraft veered to the right and that he applied brakes to remain centered on the runway during his roll out. At that point, and to his surprise the aircraft turned over in slow motion. The airman during a telephone interview told the inspector that a new set of double puck brakes were installed on the aircraft and the aircraft records confirmed the foregoing. A review of the airman's records indicated that he was not in compliance with 61.56(c)(1) flight review.
