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 landed too FAR to the right of the runway in some tall weeds. The pilot was able to get the aircraft back on the runway and it was pulling hard to the right. The pilot stated he was trying not to apply hard brake pressure. The aircraft proceeded to veer to right hitting and coming to rest against several trees. Damage to aircraft; propeller blades bent, nose gear broke off and the right wing has damage to leading edge and wrinkled skin.
