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 pilot privacy data omitted was practicing and attempting to gain experience in his new aircraft at his home airport. During landing roll he let the aircraft yaw to the right and he did not apply left rudder quickly enough. The aircraft swerved to the left and the left gear broke off dropping the left wing. The aircraft skidded to a halt. No injuries. The pilot privacy data omitted knew what he did wrong and was not experienced in this type of aircraft. He admits that he needs more experience.
