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 may 16, 2007, at Ryan Field, AZ, aircraft N8254J, a Piper PA-28-161, lost control on landing and contacted a runway sign with the left wing leading edge. A student pilot, receiving training at international airline training academy, initially reported a brake failure upon landing and lost control of the aircraft. The aircraft left two skid marks on the runway and continued until the aircraft made a full 180 degree turn and stopped in the dirt parallel to the runway, contacting a runway sign. The student pilot, after talking with his instructor has determined that the brakes were applied too soon after landing and not released after landing roll had started. Damage to the aircraft was limited to dents and small holes in a portion of the leading edge of the left wing. Maintenance has determined that the replacement leading edge will cost approximately 150.00.
