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 September 26, 2013, at approximately 1600 CDT, a Piper PA34-200T owned by wow flying group LLC was involved in landing/rollout incident during a part 91 flight. VFR conditions prevailed at the time of the incident. The pilot holds a private pilot rating.

Following what the pilot stated to be a normal flight, approach and landing to runway 18 at kfar, the pilot felt the aircraft pull to the right on rollout. As the aircraft slowed, it drifted to the right of the runway centerline. As the aircraft settled, the passenger reported that the right main landing gear tire was making contact with the right flap. The aircraft departed the runway and contacted a runway light before coming to a stop. The aircraft encountered minor damage and there were no injuries.
