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.

Aircraft is a hang glider/powered trike. Pilot had just completed a landing. During the landing roll, a tire burst causing the aircraft to drag to one side. As the aircraft came to a stop, the aircraft fell over. In order to clear the runway, the pilot dragged the aircraft off of the runway causing scuff marks and other damage to the aircraft.
