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.

Because the airplane is equipped with tundra tires, the pilot elected to land next to the runway on the grass. The direction of landing was parallel to runway 19 (to the south). The right gear collapsed when it struck a hole or ditch in the grass. The prop also stuck in the ground; engine was idling.

No injury to the pilot who was the sole occupant.
