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 pilot temporarily lost control during a crosswind landing. He attempted to land in the grass adjacent to the runway, but subsequently touched down in the cornfield next to the runway environment. He initiated a go around and landed successfully on the second attempt.
