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 was practicing takeoffs and landings at pwt. As he turned base leg on the tenth landing he noted a couple of bumps. As he lined up on final to runway 01 he noted there was crosswind. He corrected for the crosswind and continued the approach and immediately after landing the airplane veered sharply to the right. The plane exited the runway into the grass next to the runway. The ground was soft and wet. As the airplane slowed down the nosewheel sank into the mud causing the propeller to strike the ground. There was also damage to the right wing tip and the skin was wrinkled on top of the right wing. The winds in the area were approximately 5 knots. There were no injuries.
