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 may 25, 2004, at approximately 1005 PDT, eddie narramore landed on runway 24 at the Mcclellan-Palomar Airport, CA in N2530K, a Cessna model 180K aircraft. During the landing roll out, while attempting to exit the runway at a taxiway, the aircraft ground looped damaging the right wing, right aileron, right horizontal stabilizer, and the right elevator. The aircraft sustained substantial damage to the described areas. Narramore, the sole occupant, was not injured. No fire resulted. Examination of the aircraft by a local FBO determined that the right main landing gear wheel assembly outboard wheel half had failed at the bead area. This was an original wheel assembly. The initial report by the western pacific duty officer indicated that the aircraft suffered a hard landing.
