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.

After aircraft touchdown, the pilot reported that a strong wind gust caused the aircraft to drift to the left side of the runway, striking a runway edge light. The reported winds at the time of landing were 290 degrees at 12 knots gusting to 20 knots. The aircraft maximum demonstrated direct crosswind, as stipulated in the aircraft AFM, is 20 knots. The aircraft sustained a cracked fiberglass wheel fairing on the left main landing gear, as a result of the aircraft contacting the runway edge light.
