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 was landing on runway 3 and with main gear on the ground and aft wheel touching down a gust of wind lifted the right wing up and the aircraft went to the left across the infield hitting the left wing tip on the ground and rocks kicking up from the tires putting four holes in the right flap and bending the left wing tip.
