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.

Pilot was attempting a right crosswind landing on runway 22. At touchdown, while on the left main landing gear, a wind gust lifted the right wing causing the aircraft to leave the runway to the left. The pilot was unable to maintain enough control to prevent collision with the PAPI approach light.
