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.

Upon the 4th full stop landing at this airport, the RH main lg strut collapsed, which caused the RH prop to strike the ground. The pilot attempted to stop and maintain center line but was not successful. The aircraft, as it was slowing down, was yawing to the right and slid off the runway down a turf drop to the right of the runway. The aircraft stopped at the edge of the tree line.
