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.

Full rudder application was not fully effective therefore airman elected to allow aircraft to weathervane and dissipate landing energy into the wind rather than risk a ground loop with possible aircraft damage. Aircraft exited runway onto adjacent turf under control and contined onto ramp with no damages to aircraft or runway environment
