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 he was practicing full stop landings with exit from the runway, taxiing back for another take off. Pilot stated he had completed 2 prior landings without incident. On his 3rd landing, pilot stated the airplane leaned to the right, (the right wing dipped lower than the left). The pilot stated he over corrected the input to the rudder control to return the airplane to the center of the runway. The airplane exited the runway to the left side of runway 17 at approximately 1900 feet from the beginning of the runway. The airplane continued into the median between the runway and the taxiway and came to rest facing 180 degrees from the beginning. Damage was limited to scrape marks on the right wing tip, the nose shock absorber strut, and bent propeller. At the scene, the FAA iic did observe the right wing lower than the left. Lifting the right wing and allowing it to come to rest again, the right main landing gear strut only showed approximately 1 inch of shock absorber showing vs approximately 5 inches on the left main landing gear shock absorber.
