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.

A six foot section of the outboard r/h wing departed the a/c at approximatley wing station 177 and the a/c came to rest 633 feet from where the wing section found on runway 32. The a/c showed the energy path was on a 360 degree heading. A 3 foot deep crater was observed consistent with the initial ground impact. From the point of impact wreckage debris fanned out up to 50 feet at the widest point up to the main wreckage which was inverted and facing east. All 5 individuals on board received fatal injuries.
