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.

The pilot states that upon his first touch down the aircraft bounced around 10 feet in which he decided to "go-around". He thought the the engine faultered, and then the aircraft banked to the left. He further states that he applied right aileron but no coordinated rudder. The aircraft continued to bank to the left and came to rest (stop) in the mud on the left side of the runway. Upon impact with the mud the nose gear/assembly was torn from the aircraft.
