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) The pilot was taxiing into the ramp area, after landing, and was following a "follow me" cart. While following the cart on the ramp, the aircraft's left main landing gear taxied over a "soft" area of asphalt and sank into the ground. The pilot immediately stopped the aircraft and deplaned to inspect for damage. The left wing was touching the ramp, however did not appear to have any damage. The landing gear door on the left main gear received minor damage.
