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.

The aircraft landed normally on runway 31 and slowed to taxi speed. While preparing to exit the runway onto the taxiway, the aircraft's right wing rose abruptly, and the aircraft began rolling to the left. The pilot attempted to correct with right aileron input. The aircraft continued to roll and yaw to the left. The right main tire was lifted off the ground. The pilot added additional aileron as well as right rudder correction. The pilot's control inputs were ineffective, and the aircraft exited the paved surface, entered a drainage ditch on the left side of the runway, and flipped over.
