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

Left main landing gear collapsed on roll out phase of touch and go. Left wing tip contacted the ground and the aircraft slid off the runway. The NTSB elected to catagorize this occurence as an incident not an accident.
