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.

Aircraft entered into a stalled condition, at approximately 10 feet above runway surface, and impacted surface of runway on right main landing gear. Aircraft continued landing roll on runway before exiting runway surface, stopping on grass. No injuries were sustained and aircraft sustained minor damage. Right main landing gear broke from mount during hard landing, puncturing the upper surface of the right wing. Right wing tip was dragging on surface of runway, causing damage to tip. Nose gear fork broken at lower portion of strut at attachment point when aircraft exited runway and sunk into soft grass. Propeller was destroyed after contact with the ground.
