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 was on the RNAV 25 approach into Boscobel, WI. He reported that on the way down the glideslope the ride was fairly bumpy with gusty winds. The winds were 330 at 11 G19 so there was a crosswind component, but he stated he didn’t need to correct very much to stay on the centerline. The pilot stated that during the flare and about to touch down a strong wind gust lifted the aircraft right wing violently and pushed the aircraft to the left side of the runway. The pilot stated he immediately advanced the power lever forward to initiate a go-around. The pilot stated he felt the combination of low airspeed, and increased torque from the engine, caused the left wing to dip and make contact with the ground. The pilot stated the aircraft the rotated about a quarter turn counterclockwise and slid to a stop which is consistent with the pictures
