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.

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

The aircraft only knocked off the lens but did not break the bulb of the light assembly. The aircraft received some minor damage to the belly (plexiglass) empennage area. However, the damaged area was repaired and the aircraft was returned to service.
