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.

Upon normal landing, aircraft LH lg tire blew. During the landing rollout, PIC initially maintained aircraft control on the centerline but as ground speed diminished control of the aircraft with rudder also diminished. Braking worsened the pull to the left due to the aircraft flat tire. The aircraft slowly veered from the centerline to the LH side of rwy 17 and the LH lg reached the grass in the runway safety area. The pilot attempted to maintain control of the aircraft with appropriate ruddder input no further damage to the aircraft. Aircraft towed from the runway.
