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 airman was returning to land at kogd from a flight in the local area and noticed the visibility was beginng to drop and the winds were getting stronger. The airman contacted Ogden tower and was instructed to make a straight in approach for runway 17. The winds at that point were reporting 190 at 29 gusting to 42 knots. The airman was able to make a successful approach and landing. As he was rolling out and turning left to depart runway 17 onto taxiway c the wind caught the right wing and lifted it up. This caused the left wing and propeller to strike the ground. The aircraft pivoted and weathervaned into the wind. The airman determined to not to attempt to further move the aircraft and informed ATC that he needed assistance. Personel and a tug were sent to retrieve the airman and aircraft without further issues.
