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 landing and during roll out on runway 31 during gusty and rainy landing conditions, the pilot was unable to maintain center line because the aircraft was hydroplaning to the left side of the runway. The pilot elected to make a go-around but still could not maintain the center line and elected to abort the take-off. Shortly after that, the aircraft hit a taxi sign on the west side of the runway causing the nose gear to collapse.
