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 states he had landed on runway 4 and was taxiing on the runway at approximately 30 mph toward the FBO when a gust of wind raised the left wing. The right landing gear collapsed and the aircraft slid on its hull approximately 900 feet down the runway. The pilot pulled the aircraft clear of the runway with a car. The right axle bent due to side load and the right landing gear collapsed. The landing gear retract torque tube bearing block pulled loose from its mount and the right brake cable attach bracket failed.
