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 returning from the local practice area. Obtained landing information and clearance to land on rwy 27. Uneventful touchdown and initial rollout, then the aircraft entered a very large, sustained gust or stream of wind which redirected the aircraft toward the left side of the runway. The left wheel went off the paved surface. The student pilot was unable to return the wheel to the pavement and took the aircraft into the unpaved area between the runway and two taxiways. After clearing, airport maintenance personnel inspected the airport - no damage. Airport personnel reported similar deviations by other aircraft landing on this runway with similar results. The aircraft sustained no damage.
