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 control of aircraft was not maintained after landing, due to crosswind. Pilot dipped right wing lower than necessary to compensate for crosswind condition, resulting in wingtip touching ground, and aircraft nosing over to the right side, with prop impacting surface.
