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.

The takeoff was aborted and the aircraft skidded into the grass on the right side of the runway near the end. Pilot stated aircraft hit runway bumps just prior to the nose gear tire blowing out. Note: the second pilot was the aircraft owner.
