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.

On June 30, 2022, at approximately 10:40 EST a Cessna 172M, registration number privacy data omitted, owned by a private corporation and piloted by a student pilot, suffered minor left wing damage and a propeller strike on the runway surface at Mbs International Airport in Saginaw mi runway 14. The student pilot was conducting his 150 solo cross country flight. His flight plan was to fly from ann arbor mi municipal airport (karb) to Mbs International for a touch and go and then on to flynt bishop airport (kfnt) and then back to karb. Upon touchdown and landing rollout at mbs, the hazard aircraft encountered strong gusting left to right crosswind condition forcing the aircraft roll to the right. The hazard pilot tried correct this condition using left aileron. The hazard pilot also applied brakes to try and regain control of the aircraft. While braking the aircraft drifted toward the right side of the runway. The hazard pilot continued to brake and completed a full stop on the runway. The hazard pilot then contacted the tower, and reported he was fine. Mbs tower asked if the hazard pilot would like to take back off or taxi to the ramp. At that point in time the hazard pilot was unaware that his left wing had struck the runway and he proceeded to taxi to the ramp to check the aircraft out. The hazard aircraft then taxied to the ramp and shut down without further incident. Upon egress of the hazard aircraft, the hazard pilot noticed damage to the right wing and ended his flight at mbs. No injuries reported and no damage to any other aircraft.

On July 8 2002 at approximately 10:20 the FAA iic arrived on scene to assess the damage to the aircraft. The iic gained permission from the aircraft owning corporation to have the on scene mechanic at mbs assist in gaining access to the aircraft and the engine cowling. Upon inspection it was noticed that right wing sustained minor damage and the prop also struck the ground. Photographs reveal the extent of damage to both. The iic also looked at the engine and firewall to determine if any damage was sustained. No damage was noticed. This incident is considered close and no follow up required.
