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.

Aircraft tried to land on runway 25. As it touched down it began to porpoise. Pilot decided to go-around and applied full power. The aircraft turned sharply to the right. As the pilot banked to the left to try to correct the situation, the left wing struck a higher bank of dirt causing the aircraft to begin a cartwheel type of action as it crashed into a chain link fence and camper parked on the tarmac. The aircraft then flipped onto its back.
