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 he had a normal approach and initial landing. Caught a gust during the roll out and the tail started oscillating and he could not catch it and went off the runway.
The airport operations manager was a witness and said the pilot pulled the power about 20 feet above the runway and had a hard landing, then lost control.
