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.

November 17 2019, privacy data omitted, student pilot was soloing a Cessna 182, N97021, at the russellville municipal airport (krue). After a good landing was accomplished, during the roll out he took his eyes off the runway while reaching for the flaps to reduce them to 0 degrees. While being distracted he veered right and when he noticed the error he over corrected to the left in to the grass and was unable to stop before his nose gear and left main gear fell into a concrete ditch causing minor damage to wing tip, engine cowling and had a prop strike.

1 Person on board, no injuries. Weather was VFR and light winds.
