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.

AS7015 was cleared to land on runway 7L and was given a caution for wake turbulence from a jet departing runway 33. In the flare a 747 in position on runway 33 applied power causing AS7015 to roll and drift. AS7015 landed in the remaining 8000' of runway on 7L. During postflight inspection the AS7015 crew noticed damage to the left wingtip and notified maintenance.
