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 aircraft made a visual approach to runway 18 at kixd. The wind at kixd was 140 degrees at 20 knots, gusting to 25 knots. The pilot lost directional control during the landing and allowed the aircraft to exit the west side of the runway, striking a runway light. After the pilot regained control, he steered the aircraft back onto the runway, striking two blades of his three-blade propeller on the runway surface while transitioning from the grass to the concrete. Incident privacy data omitted is closed.
