MINOR DAMAGE WAS INCURRED TO THE AIRCRAFT UNDER- CARRIAGE SKIN, AND LEFT AND RIGHT FLAPS. SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE WAS INCURRED TO THE PROPELLER. A POST ACCIDENT INSPECTION DID NOT REVEAL ANY AIRCRAFT OR FLIGHT CONTROL ANOMALY THAT COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS INCIDENT. I HAVE VERBALLY COUNSELED THE PIC REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE OF UTILIZING HIS CHECKLIST. THE PIC CONCURS, AND WILL UTILIZE HIS CHECKLIST IN ALL ASPECTS OF FLIGHT OPERATIONS IN THE FUTURE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
