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.

From tower camera -on landing rollout rwy 35R, at kapa, aircraft enters taxiway A9, right of A9 centerline. Aircraft drifts slight to the right, right landing gear drops off surfaced area, pulling aircraft off of taxiway A9. Aircraft makes directional change back to the left and returns to the improved surface at the apex of A9 and alpha. Aircraft rolls out on taxiway alpha, turns to the right and comes to full stop facing south on the opposite edge of taxiway alpha. Aircraft sustained damage to flaps due to contact with taxiway lights.
