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.

After landing during rollout the aircrat encountered a gust of wind pushing the tail to the right causing the aircraft to leave the runway to the left. Pilot maintained control of the aircraft until entering a drainage ditch in the median between taxiway and runway. Contact with the ditch caused damage to both main landing gear and both propellors.
