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.

Pilot's narrative:

On day August 7, 2023, I was clear to land on the runway 9R with some crosswind, right traffic pattern short final keeping center line nose correction to the right to speed set for final approach flaps set, for crosswind landing technique, rudder to line your nose up with the runway, and ailerons to correct for right drift all the way from final approach to touchdown.

After a touchdown rolling a few meters but the wind gave the effect of pushing too much from the right showing the feeling of drift on the plane to avoid that feeling I stopped but kept straight the airplane ended up on the grass but smoothly with no damage on the aircraft and not an injury at all for any of the occupants.

I did a 180-turn taking the airplane out of the grass, and after Miami authority visual inspection gave the clearance, I taxied the plane to the ramp. Proceeding with more details inspections seen that wasn’t any damage on any parts of the plane.
