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 was performing a take off from corporate private airstrip. Applied power, nose drifted left, initiated a takeoff abort using maximum reverse and maximum braking. The left main gear drug heavily into the dirt bringing the nose wheel around left, propellers hit plastic fence and aircraft came to a stop.
