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.

ATC instructed pilot to taxi to runway 16R. Pilot correctly acknowledged instructions. Shortly thereafter ATC observed the aircraft taxiing to 34L and advised pilot of the apparent error. Pilot acknowledged and attempted a 180 turn around on the taxiway. During this maneuver the right main landing gear departed the taxiway and became stuck in the grass.
