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.

The aircraft landed on runway 34, slightly to the right of the center line. The aircraft rollout was approximately 300 to 400 feet before the initial skid mark. The initial skid mark indicates the right main tire locked up on a 340 degree heading. Approximately 30 feet later, the left main and nose gear skid marks are observed; these marks indicate a skidding turn to the right. Approximately 60 feet later the aircraft impacted a snow bank, coming to rest on a heading of 160 degrees. The resulting impact with the snow bank resulted in substantial damage.
