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 after touchdown, on landing roll at approximately 45 mph, the pilot placed the propeller selector in the reverse position and shortly afterwards the left main landing gear leg sheared at the saddle mount for the airframe causing the left wing and propeller to contact the ground and the aircraft to veer to the right.
