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.

Existind crosswind conditions (24016G20KT) combined with aircraft taxi speed and/or lack of proper crosswind correction by the pilot, allowed the right wing to become momentarily airborne followed by collapse of the left main landing and the aircraft skidding to a stop with the nose pointed off the right side of the runway. No injuries were sustained by the pilot.
