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) On 04/02/2004, a private pilot with a glider certificate only, was on a solo cross country flight to Madison WI., in order to get the requirements needed for a private pilot airplane single engine land rating. He was landing a Cessna 172 on runway 32 when he claimed the wind caused him to go off the runway and knock over a runway light. The only damage to the airplane was a dented wheel fairing. There was a crosswind when he landed.
