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.

Weather condition was raining with wet runway. No issues on final with stable aircraft. At time of landing touchdown, the pilot felt a slight wind begin to push the aircraft right at landing rollout. The runway was wet and the aircraft veered right due to either a skid or hydroplane. The pilot began braking actions, but was now in line to hit a runway light. To avoid the runway lights, the pilot had to momentarily steer off runway to avoid the obstacle. The pilot was able to return to the runway without issue and then taxied back to parking. No damage to the aircraft observed by pilot or maintenance.
