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 pilot was conducting a full stop landing after completing a routine flight. Weather was VFR and pilot stated winds were oriented 50-60 degrees from the runway heading and less than 6 knots in velocity. Touchdown was uneventful but during the landing roll the aircraft weathervaned into the wind and the pilot added opposite rudder to correct. Shortly after, the aircraft flipped over, struck the propeller and came to rest on its spinner with the tail in the air. Pilot exited the aircraft without further incident. No injuries.
