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.

On the arrival in to fty, the f/o picked up ATIS and ATIS reported that the longer runway, 8/26, was closed. Flight crew calculated the required distance for landing and it was determined they had the distance required under the company's daap program for the shorter, active runway, 32. ATIS reported winds were 300@12G19. At approximately less than 100' AGL, approach became unstable. F/o observed red lights in the cockpit for stall illuminated and called out "stall stall stall add power", and stick shaker was going off. Captain applied power. Both left and right wing tips struck the runway during landing/touchdown.
