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) Aircraft landed on runway 06, Teterboro in light rain, with standing water on the surface. Pilot applied brakes to decelerate and aircraft began veering to the right. The pilot believed that the left brake had failed to engage, and attempted to maintain directional control using asymmetric power. Aircraft departed the right side of the runway and struck a taxiway sign and runway light. Prop blades on the left, and right were gouged, and the left wing was dented outboard of the engine nacelle. A six inch section of the de-ice boot was torn at the same location.
