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 rollout, the pilot reported that the aircraft veered to the right. He was unable to stop the aircraft as it does not have brakes.

The aircraft then departed the runway at low speed and hit a drainage ditch, causing minor damage to the propeller, landing gear, and fuselage.
