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.

After touchdown, pilot stated he "got behind" on rudder input and the aircraft began swerving. He overcorrected, then decided to try to go around. The added p factor cause the airplane to veer even farther after which it went off the runway. Main gear collapsed, prop blades both broke off and right hand outboard wing leading edge was damaged.
