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

Upon touch down and landing rollout, the airman lost directional control while landing in a cross wind and departed the runway striking a fence post, becoming airborn again before stalling and impacting the ground in a steep right bank.
