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) The flight was conducted in accordance with 14 CFR part 91 in VMC conditions. The flight was a local pleasure flight with the pilot and two passengers. At approximately 18:30 MDT, the pilot landed on rwy 34 at kbmc. Very shortly after touchdown the aircraft went up on the left main tire and began a gradual turn to the right and at one point the left wing tip also struck the runway. When the aircraft went off the rwy it sank into the dirt shoulder and flipped upside down. Weather and the wind were not a factor. The occupants were able to exit the aircraft with minor injuries.
