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.

N756QV was on final into pdk @ runway 03L, PIC stated they conducted a go-around due to ballooning / floating. On second approach, PIC stated the approach was stable but anticipated gusty winds. At touched down, PIC stated a sudden loss of airspeed and aircraft's right wing tip contacting the runway followed by the propeller contacting the runway. PIC stated they recovered after striking the runway and shut engine down and used the remaining momentum to clear the runway. Initial inspection of the damage revealed right navigation light lens and right wing tip had minor damage with gouges running at a 45 degree from centerline. Propeller damage indicated engine was running at time of impact. Right main landing gear wheel assembly showed signs of low pressure and right wheel assembly side wall showed signs of contact with the runway.
