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.

1. Thunderstorms were approaching the field from the west as asq 5241 conducted a visual approach to runway 20.2. Several windshear advisories were issued by the ATCT while asq 5241 was in the approach pattern.3. At 200' AGL, indicated airspeed increased 20 knots.4. At approximately 100', an increasing performance amber windshear caution was annunciated on the primary flight display (PFD).5. Indicated airspeed decreased at 50', followed by a hard landing on the right main gear. The aircraft then contacted the runway with the left main gear, left wingtip and left inboard trailing edge flap panel.6. A red windshear warning (decreasing performance) was never annunciated on the PFD. 7. Taxi to the ramp was normal. Aircraft damage was discovered on the post flight walkaround inspection.
