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 stated the following: "I taxied the aircraft out of the parking space making two left turns. As I approached the exit, and began to apply right rudder pressure to maintain the centerline, the aircraft failed to respond. The aircraft continued to track straight. I applied right brake pressure to bring the nose to the right and the plane again failed to respond to the corrective action. The aircraft was now approaching the pavement edge. Full brake pressure was applied, but the brakes went soft and the aircraft departed the pavement causing the damage."
