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.

The a/c was traveling at about 20 knots the left main tire cover struck and destroyed one of the runway lights. The a/c then came to rest in the soft shoulder of runway. The pilot stated that he was able to use the a/c power to taxi back to the hanger, with no noticeable pull in either direction of the nosie wheel. After my inspection of the a/c the only damage was to the left main whell cover.
