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 personal flight with the flying pilot in the right seat over flew the destination airport in order to determine wind direction and velocity. He saw a flag by the airport terminal which he described as "limp". During the landing the airplane ground looped and sustained substantial damage. A crosswind with gusting winds prevailed at the time. Neither occupant was injured.
