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.

PIC took off from 88R at approximately 0715 (CST) in-route to kbmq. Upon arrival around 0730 the PIC landed on rwy 19 where he entered into a left path off centerline into grass just before taxiway c. the aircraft crossed taxiway c where it entered into a drainage culvert. The right main was separated from the aircraft by rocks, used as erosion control, approximately 4 inches up from the lower strut attachment point. The right main gear separation caused the right aileron to be bent 90 degrees up when struck by the main gear and the wing sustained major damage to the inboard 2 feet. The left wing also sustained major damage to the wood surface separating it approximately 1 foot out from the root. The aircraft then rotated right coming to a rest. The PIC was the sole occupant and sustained no injuries.
