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.
On approach winds were gusting at 30 knots at 300 on runway 26. Pilot was using heavy left rudder with a slip to the right. At approximately 30 feet altitude the aircaft dropped suddenly but the pilot corrected and continued to land abruptly on the right main gear which collapsed, as well as the nose gear, and caused the aircraft to skid to the right and depart the runway.
Pilot counseled on obtaining a more concise weather brief.
