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: incident DTW98021 Casa 212 N311ST. Aircraft started takeoff roll from runway 5L at Willow Run Airport, (yip) at approx. 2000 local time March 10, 1998. Aircraft rotated and pilot henry hryczak felt "mushy controls" and aborted the takeoff. The aircraft touched down straight on the centerline and as the aircraft slowed down it started to skid to the left. Mr. Hryczak could not correct the skid. Aircraft slid off runway 5L and the right wing tip contacted the ground and the aircraft stopped. The crew shut down the engines, contacted the tower and emergency measures were taken. Aircraft damage limited to RH wing tip, outboard leading edge and aileron. The aircraft also struck a runway light which caused minor skin damage to the underside of the nose area.
