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 aircraft was landing on runway 14 at Branson airport when after touchdown, the aircraft swerved off to one side of the runway impacting a wing on the runway due to the hard turn. The aircraft then swerved the opposite direction and as the nose gear crossed from the grass onto the runway pavement, the nose gear collapsed. The aircraft then skidded straight across the runway centerline coming to a stop on the opposite side of the runway.
