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.

(-23)The pilot stated that the aircraft touched down near the numbers on runway 24. After the nose wheel touched down the aircraft started veering to the left. The pilot decided to take off again and make another landing attempt. After applying full power and retacting the landing gear and flaps, the pilot stated that the aircraft seemed to stop flying even though the engine was producing takeoff power. It contacted the runway again with the wheels retracted and skidded off of the runway and onto the grass. The aircraft received minor damage but there was no injuries to the pilot and passenger.
