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 February 4th, 2023, the PIC went on a flight in the traffic pattern to practice landings at the kmve airport. The PIC stated that he checked the METAR at the desk in the FBO lobby and noted that the winds were out of the southwest at about 5 knots. The pavement was dry as well. The PIC was on his third landing and noted that his sink rate was a little higher than normal, experienced a bounce which caused the right wing to come up. Following this, the PIC was unable to get the aircraft back to centerline due to overreacting on the rudder pedals which resulted in the aircraft striking the snowbank on the left side of the runway and flipped over.
