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) Pilot lost directional control during takeoff roll. The aircraft departed the left side of runway and continued onto the median. Both the precision approach path indicator (PAPI) and the thousand foot remaining marker were struck by the aircraft before it came to a stop.
