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.

After landing on runway 29 at kman, the pilot stated the airplane began to drift to the right and he attempted to correct with left rudder input. The airplane would not correct as he needed and continued off of the runway into the infield. Once the airplane departed the runway, the pilot added brake causing the airplane to ground loop and nose over. The pilot was the only one on board and not injured. The airplane sustained minor damage to the propellor and left-wing tip.
