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.

Pilot statement:on feb 11th we landed at kdfw in light snow. It took us 30 minutes to taxi to the general aviation ramp. We proceeded to fuel and load the passenger. We determined that the aircraft needed de-icing. We waited almost 4 hours for our turn to get de-iced. During this time it continued to snow at various rates with the temp around 0 degrees. After de-icing,we where cleared into position and hold for take-off. We where cleared for take-off almost immediately. We left the gear out to get rid of any ice/snow. The approach to kpvd was normal in VMC conditions. We lowered the gear about 5 miles out. The left main touched first followed by the right main. Immediately after the right main touched down the aircraft drifting right. I applied full left rudder to very little effect. I then used left break to help maintain directional control. The aircraft came to a halt on the right side of the runway. The f.o. advised ATC that we where disabled on the runway. The aircraft was then towed clear of the runway. Sent via blackberry by at&tit appears that the brakes picked up slush from the takeoff from dallas fort worth and had frozen instantly and stayed frozen during the landing at t.f .Green (pvd)
