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 rollout the pilot experienced a gust of wind that caused the airplane to drift right. The pilot maintained longitudinal control and allowed the airplane to drift off the runway until directional control was regained. The pilot reentered the runway and completed the landing roll and taxied back to the ramp. An inspection of the airplane did not find any damage to the airplane. During the excursion a runway light was broken off the mount, apparently by contact with the airplane's spray bar.
