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 departed ksus en-route to 1H0. After departure the pilot requested to return to ksus due to rough and choppy air. Just after touchdown on runway 26L at ksus, the aircraft ground looped to the left, resulting in a right wing scrape. The pilot's weather briefing prior to departure was the ksus ATIS.
