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 landed the aircraft on an undeveloped runway to wait out a passing storm cell. While on landing rollout, aircraft hit a bump and became airborne. Pilot increased power for a go around and while trying to avoid a frontal obstacle, pilot dipped right wing and struck the top of an unobserved 8 ft. high post approx 1 ft. in from the wing tip.
The inertia caused the aircraft to spin 270 degrees to the right and impact the ground, causing substantial damage to prop, landing gear and right wing.
