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.

While rolling down runway for 3rd take off for solo endorsement, the student pilot departed the runway to the left at approximately takeoff speed and impacted the ditch between the runway and taxiway causing the nose gear to depart the aircraft before coming to rest.
