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 cleared to land aircraft on runway 35L at kdwh. The aircraft made a hard landing on runway 35L resulting in collapse of the right-side main landing gear strut, damage to the right wing tip fairing, and interior overhead panels breaking loose from overhead. Aircraft cleared runway under its own power. Once clear of runway, aircraft was shut down and pilot and passengers exited. Due to damage to right main landing gear, ground crew towed aircraft from taxiway.
