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.

The PIC was attempting to take off from runway 18, which was covered with ice and slush. During the takeoff roll, the aircraft departed the centerline to the left, where it encountered a runway light, a snow-bank and rough terrain, which sheared off the nose-gear.
