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.

During landing the aircraft touched down, pulled left, and was pulled off the runway striking a taxiway marker at which time the right hand landing gear collapsed. The right wing tip and both propeller tips were damaged due to making contact with the ground.
