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.

Landing on runway 21. Airspeed over the numbers was 85KIAS. Mains touched down first, rudder pedal was centered. Upon touchdown of the nosewheel, the aircraft pulled hard to the right. In an effort to recenter the aircraft, the pilot added left rudder. The aircraft then immediately pulled ncontrollably hard left. The aircraft exited the runway to the left into the rock field parallel to the runway. Upon hitting the rock field, the nose gear collapsed causing the propeller to strike the ground.
