ON MARCH 16, 2017, AT APPROXIMATELY 1513 HOURS MOUNTAIN STANDARD TIME (MST), C-FLAS, AN EMBRAER LEGACY 450, (EMB-545) REGISTERED IN CANADA SUSTAINED MINOR WING TIP DAMAGE DURING TAKE-OFF ROTATION FROM CENTENNIAL AIRPORT EN-ROUTE TO VANCOUVER, CANADA.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
