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.

Pilot stated; he was performing a touch and go. He was making corrections and landed the aircraft about 200 feet past the numbers. He advanced the throttle and then went to raise the flaps. The aircraft went off the runway to the left and crossed the taxiway and went into a ditch.
