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.

06/17/2013, 1130AM CFI was giving flight instruction to second pilot for tail wheel endorsement. After completing 5-6 roll out landings, on the last landing at touch down the right main wheel departed the arcraft and the right strut dug into the ground. The aircraft yawed to the right and came to a stop in the upright position. The aircraft sustained minor damage to the right strut, airframe strut attachment points and bent the propeller from a low engine RPM ground strike.
