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.

During the landing phase of flight, after the touchdown on runway 31, the pilot reported that when the nose wheel contacted the runway, the airplane began veering to the left. He corrected with right rudder, but the airplane continued to the left until it went off the side of the runway and the nose wheel collapsed
