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 aircraft sustained minor damage. Neither the private pilot rated PIC or his passenger wre injured. The pilot stated he caught a wind gust just after landing causing the airplane to veer off the runway. The passenger stated the airplane "hit really hard and bounced back into the air so the pilot applied power in an attempt to takeoff, but the airplane went into the bushes and flipped over.
