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) Pilot stated that he landed at Glencoe, MN (gyl) on runway 13 and during the roll out on the runway a gust of wind from 170 degrees caught the right wing and started to lift the aircraft at which time the pilot believes he recalls applying right aileron control input and applying wheel brakes. The aircraft continued to roll to the left and the left wing struck the ground with the resultant vector kinetic forces forcing the airplane to flip onto the top of the fuselage. Substantial damage occurred to the left wing forward spar, cabin fuselage bracing, vertical stabilizer, and rudder. Weather report from pnm afss-metar kgyl 281714Z auto 17007G15KT 10SM clr 13/03 A3023.
