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.

During landing, as the nose landing gear touched down, the aircraft veered aggressively to the left, and the nose landing gear collapsed, resulting in a runway excursion. The aircraft came to rest in an unpaved area adjacent to the runway surface.
