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) Vibration from the right main tire was evident during takeoff. Crew aborted takeoff and maximum braking was not available. Braking was reduced to prevent main tire skid and blow out. Aircraft stopped with nose gear six feet past the runway end lights hitting a runway light. No damage to aircraft, not injuries to crew and passengers.
