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.

After landing on 02R at kbna pilot was cleared on taxie way H4 and contacted ground. He was given the taxi instructions h, j, hold short T5.

Once on juliet, the pilot looked down to confirm which taxiway he was to hold short of. He did so right at the point where this taxiway bends to the right.

He looked up and tried to steer the plane right and stop, but the plane skidded and collided with the light before he was able to bring the aircraft to a stop.
