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 crew of N6214C elected to land on rwy 32 for a full stop to get fuel. After touching down the aircraft swerved left and departed the runway onto the grass. The crew applied power and attempted a go around when the aircraft swerved to the left again, traveled a short distance and struck two parked aircraft tied down on the ramp. The approximate distance from where the aircraft swerved off the runway to the parked aircraft was 100 yards.
