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) Upon landing on runway 14 at 5B2, the left main tire blew out causing the aircraft to leave the runway to the left onto the grass, crossing runway 5-23 coming to rest along rwy 5-23 facing north. The left main landing gear leg had cracked during the landing roll.
