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 January 27, 2001, at 21:45E, after landing on runway 28L, the pilot stated that during taxi to the ramp on taxiway(s) it was difficult to see because of the weather (snowing) he realized that the aircraft was off the taxiway. The pilot shut the a/c down, informed ground control, and called for a tug. The a/c was removed from the side of the taxiway and towed a short distance to the ramp. This is the home base of the a/c and the crew. The pilot stated there was not damage to the a/c only some mud on the tires. Submission of this report completes this incident.
