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.

On April 17, 2010, at approximately 1533 CDT, a Mooney (M-20C) landed on runway 31 at Des Moines International (dsm) airport. On landing rollout, after slowing down to near taxi speed, the aircraft was drifting to the left. The pilot tried to steer to the right but was having trouble.

The pilot then gained control and taxied to the ramp and inspected the aircraft. He notified the dsm tower concerning what had happened and told them that the aircraft had sustained minor damage.
