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 April 2, 2007, N625HA, a Cessna 182 piloted by privacy data omitted , had been cleared to taxi to runway 18 via taxiway "charlie" at the Evansville international airport , Evansville Indiana. As the pilot privacy data omitted taxied towards the runway he states that he was traveling too fast and could not make the required left turn while staying on the pavement. Thus the right main gear struck a runway light, knocking it over. Ground crews were able to fix the light within a couple of minutes. There was no damage to the aircraft or property. Airman was orally counseled on operating procedures while taxiing an aircraft.
