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) Note: American airlines has enrolled in the asap program; this crew has filed an asap report. Aircraft landed normally on rw 25R @den. Tire tracks showed the aircraft immediately started towards the right side of the rw, partially corrected for approx. 1500 feet (during rudder effectiveness?) Before exiting off the right side of the runway surface at an approx 40-45 degree angle. Black tire marks plainly showed heavy left wheel braking and nose gear skidding. A debris pattern at runway exit indicates the nose gear were apparently turned significantly to the right. The captain had not attempted tiller steering to this point. The aircraft then made a wide turn in the field and reentered the hard surface at an approx. 45 degree angle and came to a stop near the left edge of the runway. There were no injuries and very little aircraft damage. The passengers remained seated and were deplaned via airstairs at the runway. The captain pulled the voice recorder circuit breaker. Both recorders were removed by the NTSB for evaluation. Field conditions indicated VFR with light winds (340/08KTS).
