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.

Narrative: on landing, the student pilot inadvertently let the aircraft drift off into the grass bordering the left side of the runway. He brought the aircraft back onto the paved surface, and taxied into the ramp. Tower personnel noticed minor damage to the aircraft's left wing.
