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.

Pilot was cleared to land and winds were reported as calm. During landing rollout, the aircraft unexpectedly veered left and departed the runway and came in contact with a sign, resulting in minor damage to the underside of the right wing and flap. Niether pilot nor passenger were injured.
