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 aircraft struck the central runway identifier light with the right main gear while on approach. After rolling out, the right main gear collapsed causing the right wingtip to touch the pavement. Pilot reports there was no "violence" in the landing. Pilot induced.
