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.

The pilot stated that after landing on runway 35 he was instructed by air traffic control to exit the runway at taxiway alpha. As he exited the runway with possibly too much speed and upon applying brakes the aircraft began to ground loop. The left wing dipped down and impacted two runway lights. The left elevator also impacted the ground. The aircraft stopped, and the pilot continued to taxi to his hangar.
