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 stated that on landing roll out he thought the r/h main went flat but soon determined the wing was letting down toward the pavement. A/c came to rest on the r/h wing tip and a runway light causing damage to the underside of the r/h wing. No propeller damage, no sudden stop.
