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.

(-23) Aircraft was cleared to taxi onto runway 13 on taxiway d. as the aircraft entered the runway, nose wheel became ineffective due to icy runway conditions. The aircraft right main gear slid off the runway. Freezing rain had just started to fall and the taxiway and runway braking action conditions went from good to nil in just a few minutes.
