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 captain stated that the first officer was flying and that on the landing roll-out he, the captain, was reading back the taxi instructions to the tower and missed the call-out which leads to activation of the nose wheel steering. As the aircraft slowed, rudder authority was lost and the aircraft veered off the runway, striking a runway light and damaging the propeller. The engine and propeller were replaced and the aircraft was returned to service. privacy data omitted
