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) Immediately following touchdown on Kwigillingok rwy 15, the aircraft crossed a laterally oriented runway surface frost heave and became airborne. The pilot failed to maintain directional control, which resulted in the aircraft touching down with its nose pointed to the left and in a right hand skid along the length of the runway. The aircraft then impacted a snow berm and shortly after, came to a stop. During its stopping motion, the aircraft's right wing tip briefly dipped down and contacted the berm, which resulted in breakage of the right nav light lens cover. The aircraft was not otherwise damaged.
