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.
During the landing phase, the airman experienced gusty winds on landing. After performing a wheel landing and touching down the aircraft became airborne. The aircraft turned to the left and headed to a revine. The pilot attempted to use brakes for directional control to avoid departing the runway subsequently flipping the aircraft over onto its back.
