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.

Crosswinds/wind gusts were experienced as the pilot was making a landing on runway 33. The nose lifted after touchdown, and the pilot was unable to regain control after applying full right rudder and brake, with the aircraft departing the runway. The aircraft came to a rest after making impact with a building. The left wing has evidence of wrinkled/dented skin, probable compromised spars and ribs.
