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 recieving flight instruction from the second pilot. Just before touchdown and after the flare, the aircraft struck a deer that had darted onto the runway. Inspection afterward revealed minor damage to the underside of the left wing, flap, and wheel pant.
