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 stated as I came around for final, I felt confident in my landing and was on glide slope, there was little to no wind. When I touchdown, I end up landing hard on my right wheel. I don’t correct appropriately and the plane keeps leaning to the right side, it eventually leans FAR enough where the prop strikes the ground. This, sends the plane back level and I veer off towards the left. I slam on the brakes as I go off the runway on the left side and end up stopping just after bravo taxiway. I made a call to ATC that I had gone off the runway and would need some assistance, shut down the plane, then stepped out and waited for the ARFF guys to show up.
