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 student pilot, mark o'malley, was conducting his third solo flight at Deer valley airport. O'malley was landing on runway 7L and intended to roll out, and taxi back for another take-off. While he was rolling out o'malley reported that he "hit something" with the nose wheel. The student pilot lost control and departed the left side of runway 7L approximately 1000 feet from the departure end between taxiways A9 and A5. The aircraft spun approximately 180 degrees and came to rest in the dirt between the runway and the taxiway. During the sequence, the propeller struck the ground and the nose strut sustained damage.
