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 landing with a direct crosswind and lost directional control. The tire tracks show the pilot landed on the right main gear in a "crab" to the left of the runway centerline 400 to 500 feet past the 1000 foot runway marker. The tracks show the aircraft was still in a crab when the nose wheel touched down and finally the left main touched down. The pilot stated he had full right rudder, but the aircraft veered left, departed the runway into the mud. There were several holes in the pressure vessel and possible damage to the nose wheel attachment area.
