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.

On March 11, 2018 at, or about, 1530 local time the aircraft was landing on runway 29 at Arlington municipal airport (kawo). The aircraft touched down just past the last taxiway at approximately 600 feet from the departure end of the runway. At touchdown as the pilot applied the brakes and the aircraft was decelerating the aircraft began to oscillate right to left, the oscillations got progressively worst until they reached a point where the aircraft rolled over on its right side. After coming to a stop the pilot evacuated the aircraft; he received only minor injuries to his right knee, there were no injuries to people on the ground. The aircraft was substantially damaged; both wings were substantially damaged, along with wing support struts, one of the propeller blades was bent and delaminated and the landing gear struts were damaged.
