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) The pilot received a weather brief from kankakee and the tower both reporting a crosswind landing could be expected. The pilot had applied the correct inputs for the crosswind during the approach, but upon landing he forgot to straighten the nose and veered off the runway striking a taxi light.
