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 stated that he was solo, practicing his night takeoffs and landings for his proficiency under part 91. While landing he saw movement that appeared to be a small animal on the runway. He maneuvered slightly to the right to avoid it and after touching down the aircraft continued to draft to the edge of the runway until the right main landing gear dropped off into the mud where the aircraft became stuck. While waiting to be removed from the runway edge, he radioed approach control and monitored the CTAF frequency to advise indound aircraft that his aircraft was a conflict for landing traffic. The aircraft was later pulled from the mud and towed to hangar. The runway was then reopened.
