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 elected to complete a single pilot touch and go in crosswind conditions. Upon touchdown, pilot added takeoff power and realized his flaps were still fully extended. While attempting to retract the flaps, pilot neglected to maintain aircraft control and apply crosswind corrections. The aircraft drifted to the side of runway 18 hitting a runway light with the left wing strut causing damage to the aircraft. Pilot discontinued takeoff and aircraft came to rest on runway after regaining aircraft control.
