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.

The pilot made a normal approach to landing in calm to light wind conditions. At touchdown the pilot lost control of the aircraft veering off the left side of the runway. After departing the runway, the right landing gear strut collapsed causing the aircraft to come to rest on the right wingtip. The damage to the aircraft consisted of the right wing, right aileron, both landing gear, propellar and fuselage.
