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) Low time commercial pilot was building flight time in the C-188 agricultural aircraft in order to be added on to an agricultural application company's insurance policy. On the takeoff roll, pilot mismanaged the flight controls, lost directional control, and departed the side of the runway resulting in the right wing contacting the ground and the right main landing gear to collapse.
