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) During rollout after touchdown, the airplane veered to the left. The pilot corrected with application of right rudder; however, his foot simultaneously applied right brake. This resulted in an over-correction; the airplane departed the runway into the grass. During deceleration the front portion of the nose gear fairing broke off. No other damage was observed.
