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.

Pilot was attempting to land on rwy 31 when he lost directional control of the aircraft after a hard landing. The aircraft veered hard to the left towards a ditch. The pilot then applied full power to go-around but could not get airborne. The main landing gear contacted the ground and flipped the aircraft over. Prevailing winds were from the north east and gusting to 17 knots. Winds were a contributing factor. The pilot was the sole occupant and was not injured.
