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.

During the roll out phase of landing the aircraft went beyond the normal use portion of the grass runway. Once the aircraft encountered soft ground the main tires dug in the ground and the aircraft fliped over at a slow speed and sustained minor damage.
