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.

When landing at koxr, Oxnard Airport, Oxnard, California, runway 26, incident aircraft completed a normal landing touchdown. Pilot had been doing pattern work at koxr in incident aircraft. Pilot stated after flying for 0.5 hours, he completed a normal approach and landing. The landing was typical, with no unusual wind or turbulence. The first two-thirds of the rollout was normal; however, at around the 2/3 mark, the left wing rose unexpectedly. Pilot initially considered it a crosswind, and corrected with strong left aileron, momentarily stabilizing the situation. As the airplane continued to slow further, the left wing rose, and the right settled. Looking at the runway post-landing, there was a 75FT scrape mark on the pavement, and in the last 25FT, the airplane drifted right, settling about 30 degrees to the right of the centerline of the runway. Upon inspection, the only non-tire contact with the runway was the entry step. No other external damage. Nose and left gear were in normal extended position, the right main mostly stowed in the wing wall.
