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 landed on runway 27 at East Kansas City Airport (3GV), located in Grain Valley, Missouri. Upon landing, the aircraft's left wheel went off the runway into the grass. When the aircraft returned to the runway surface, the steering inputs caused the left wing to rise and caused the right wing tip to contact the runway. The aircraft went into an abrupt turn and the right main landing gear collapsed. The aircraft came to rest on the runway at an angle approximately 90 degrees to the centerline of runway 27.
