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)On take off the pilot chose to stay to one side of the runway due to the runway being soft. The pilot then proceeded down the runway when a wind gust forced the aircraft towards the trees and due to the fact that he was so close to one side of the runway there was no time to correct the aircraft's altered trajectory. The aircraft then struck some trees causing minor damage to the aircraft. The pilot being the sole occupant was not injured.
