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) While landing at Bloomington, IL (bmi) during gusting crosswinds the right wingstrip made contact with the runway. Pilot in command elected to go around and attempted another landing. During the second landing attempt the left wingtip made contact with the runway. The pilot then diverted to decatur, IL and landed without incident. Amendment - the flight crew of N76SF was cleared to land on runway 29 at kbmi. During the landing flare the aircraft encountered a very strong wind gust and the flight crew initiated a go around. During the lag time for engine spool up, the aircraft rolled right then left due to the wind gust and first the right and then left wingtip struck the runway. At the time of the incident, the reported wind was from 260 degrees at 35 KTS gusting to 48 KTS. The crosswind component was 24KTS, the maximum limit for a challenger 604 on a dry runway. The crew completed the go around maneuver, then diverted to decatur, IL (kdec) and landed without incident.
