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.

After landing, the aircraft traveled past the end of the grass-covered runway, hit a fence and flipped over causing minor damage. The pilot reported that the grass was wet and the braking action was reduced. Incident privacy data omitted is closed with this report.
