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.

When applying the brakes to exit on taxiway "c" pilot states he misapplied the brakes causing the aircraft to unexpectedly exit the runway short of taxiway "c". The result was the left hand horizontal stabilizer made contact with the taxi sign, knocking it over and causing minor paint and fabric damage.
