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.

Aborted take-off, pulled power levers back to idle and began to apply brakes. Aircraft started fish tailing. Pilot heard tire blow and aircraft started to drift to the left and came to a stop off runway. Aircraft was shut down and immediately exited.
