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.

Upon landing at Prescott, Arizona, on October 10, 2010, N8000K suffered a break in the tail wheel assembly which caused the aircraft to become unsteerable and veer off to the left of the runway. As a result of the unsteerable qualities, the aircraft exited runway 21R to the south into the mud and spun 180 degrees, coming to a stop. Minor scuffing to the right wing was noted. Damage to the wheel fairing caused by packed mud in the wheel well was also noted, and the broken tail wheel assembly. No injuries to either passenger.
