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.

Interviewing the pilot privacy data omitted, "privacy data omitted stated that he was a little high because of the tree line which is usual landing to the south. He stated he landed long approximately mid field and bounced once, he said he started to veer left and tried to correct but airplane would not correct even though he applied right rudder and brake. (He stated that when he picked up the airplane after its annual the right brake seemed a little different but not enough to raise alarm just that it seemed hard and not the same as he was use to) he continued to veer left and thought that he would try to ground loop by applying left brake and rudder to keep from hitting the hanger", however he ran into the corner of the building (easterly) right wing striking first which separated the right wing from the aircraft and then turned (south) driving the prop through the hanger door and coming to rest. The pilot received no injuries however his passenger privacy data omitted was injured and transported to the hospital.
