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 was performing a touch and go and upon retracting the flaps noticed an abnormal ground roll and determined that his right main gear was dragging and ulitmately separated from the aircraft. Pilot attempted to keep the aircraft on the runway during rollout, but the aircraft finally settled with all but the tail section off the runway.
