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.

On a local VFR flight from kfin to ksgj, landing on runway 31 of

Ksgj airman experienced a bounce of the aircraft while attempting a full

Stall landing. During the bounce a wind gust from the east pushed

The tail westward before he was able to pin the tailwheel on the

Ground to maintain directional control. During the process the right main gear wheel momentarily exited runway 31 to the east prior to runway 6 and ran off into the grass.

Once the airplane stopped the airman assessed the situation and condition of aircraft. The airplane did not hit any obstructions or taxi lights. The airman requested authorization to the

Tower to taxi to his hangar. At the hangar he examined the landing

Gear of the aircraft and there was not any damage.
