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 pilot stated that after touch down on runway 03 at chs the the left wing lifted and that he over corrected and that he may have braked too hard as well, causing the right wing to hit the runway, the nose also dipped forward and the propeller hit the runway. The pilot stated that it happened so fast that he is really not sure exactly what went wrong, but he knows that it was his fault. The passenger gave a statement but did not really add anything to the events of the landing.

All three blades of the propeller were curled back. The right wing tip from the nav forward is scuffed and about 18 inches of the leading edge is damaged.
