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.

On take-off roll, and just prior to take-off, aircraft nose tire blew out and the pilot was unable to maintain directional control. Aircraft departed runway on the left side of runway (west) and continued until striking the airport's north side perimeter chain link fence.
