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 normally. On landing roll out, the aircraft veered to the left and ran off the runway into the grass. The aircraft continued, under its own power, to taxi back onto the runway and then the ramp. The aircraft received minor damage to the left wing tip and aileron.
