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) While attempting a crosswind landing on runway 11 at Stuart-Atkinson Municipal Airport (8V2), the pilot experienced a gust of wind sending him off the left side of the runway prior to touchdown. The left wing came in contact with the terrain approximately 39 feet left of the centerline of the runway and approximately 324 feet from the threshold. After dragging the left wing for approximately 425 feet, the nose of the aircraft impacted the terrain causing the aircraft to lose directional control separating the left main gear and the nose gear from the aircraft. The aircraft spun to the left 280 degrees separating the tail section and the nose cowl from the aircraft and coming to rest approximately 945 feet from the end of the runway. The pilot and the one sole passenger escaped from the wreckage without injury. Damage to the aircraft was nose impact damage, propeller damage, tail separation damage, left wing damage, left main gear separation and nose landing gear separation. The aircraft was completely destroyed due to the amount of damage.
