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.

Connection 450 (N484DA) was on final for runway 9 left and requested a full stop landing. N484DA floated down the runway and attempted a go around at which time the pilot in command lost control resulting in a hard landing and prop strike; additionally, the left wing contacted the ground, runway sign and lights prior to coming to rest on the grass north of the runway.
