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 landing the aircraft veered off the runway to the left into the grass, and while maneuvering back onto the runway, the aircraft sustained damage to the right wing tip, the propeller and the nose gear. The pilot stated that on approach to land, he had the aircraft "crabbed" into the wind and failed to remove that correction prior to touch down. The pilot was on his first supervised solo in this make and model aircraft. The incident happened on his third landing.
