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 pilot landed on 17L, taxiied off at echo taxiway, turned south onto taxiway alpha. He then passed behind a stationary falcon-900. At that point, he encountered jetwash, and his aircraft tipped up onto its left landing gear, and the left wingtip made contact with the ground, damaging the left wingtip, and left wheel spat.
