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 student pilot stated that he landed hard and overcorrected when the aircraft started to drift towards the side of the runway. The aircraft veered left, then right before it went off of runway 27L and into the ditch. There were no injuries and only minor damage to the aircraft. This was a student solo flight.
