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 added power as he began to slide, which exacerbated the problem. Aircraft came to a stop on the south side of the runway over enbankment doing minor damage to the aircraft nose gear assembly. No injury to pilot was incurred.
