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) After a local VFR flight the pilot attempted to land on runway 27 at Linden Airport. The winds were gusting from approximately 330. The first attempt resulted in a go-around. On the second attempt, after touchdown, the right wing lifted and the airplane veered to the left. The left wheel struck a snow pilot left after snow removal. The gear sheared off and the airplane struck the left wing-tip, the prop struck the ground and the nose cowl sustained damage. The airplane then continued into an adjacent drainage ditch where it came to rest. There were no injuries to the pilot and one passenger.
