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.

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

During the take-off roll on runway 18, the right engine did not develop full power. The imbalance of power caused the aircraft to depart the runway to the right. The aircraft hit a taxi light in the grass area adjacent to the runway.
