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) While conducting high speed taxis, pilot felt a slight crosswind. He then applied his brakes resulting in the aircraft ground looping. Pilot stated that it was his error in applying brakes at wrong time. Not an aircraft accident because there was no intention to fly aircraft.
