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.

Pilot in command (PIC) stated that the anticipated landing runway (13) was changed due to a wind direction change. PIC was cleared to and landed straight in on runway 31. Upon touchdown, aircraft veered left. PIC stated that maximum right rudder would not arrest the left turn. Aircraft continued through a ground loop and nosed over on its back causing damage to the vertical fin and upper fuselage.
