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, 2011, at 1757 CDT, a Pilatus PC-12, N326PA, registered to cc aviation, LLC, piloted by thomas e. goodwater, was involved in an incident at the millard airport (kmle), Omaha, Nebraska. The aircraft landed on runway 12 in VFR conditions. After landing, the pilot made a 180 degree turn to the right, followed by a 90 degree turn to the left to clear the runway on a taxiway. As the aircraft was taxied off of the runway onto the taxiway, the left main landing gear left the pavement and became stuck in the soft grass adjacent to the taxiway. The PC-12 became stuck and the pilot shut down the aircraft and notified the FBO. The aircraft was not damaged in the incident, and the pilot and passengers were not injured.
