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: pilot first did fly over, and normal approach, for short field landing to the southwest. Landed and retracted flaps for better braking. Noticed deer on front left and right side of aircraft (did not see on flyby). Midway down runway, veered left to avoid deer and let aircraft proceed down runway. Southwest end of field had standing water and surface was poor. Pilot realized aircraft wouldn't stop and turned mags off; aircraft slid in brush and hit a couple of small trees on southwest end of field. Engine was stopped, but bent one blade on propellor, and dinged left wing tip. Broke strap on nose gear. privacy data omitted
