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/owner reported that wind gusts caught the plane as it was rolling out, blowing the airplane to the right. When the right main ran off of the runway the ground was very soft, the wheel pressed into the ground causing the airplane to turn more to the right. When the left wheel hit the soft dirt the airplane flipped over on its back, off of the runway and onto the taxiway. The left tire track was visible on the runway and the tracks in the soft ground were also visible. Pictures were taken by this inspector and by spectators.
