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.

Student pilot returning from a solo cross country flight lost control after touchdown on runway 25R causing the aircraft to veer into the gravel on the side of the runway resulting in the propeller contacting the runway surface. After control of the aircraft was regained, the pilot taxied the aircraft to the flight school's ramp.
