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 right hand wing tip contacted the grass just off the runway for a few seconds, and damaged the lower surface of the tip, the RH aileron, and the RH lower wing aft spar. Right hand landing gear tire, outboard sidewall has a vertical split.
