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) On landing rollout pilot noticed shudder and aircraft settled on right wing tip. Right landing gear collapsed. Torque tube to right landing bent not allowing right main landing gear to down lock. When full weight of aircraft was applied to the landing gear the right landing gear collapsed into wheel well. The aircraft came to rest on the propeller and the right flap and the passenger step. The step broke off causing the flap to come into contact with the ground damaging the flap.
