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 16R, the aircraft exited at taxiway A8. While turning northbound on taxiway a, the left main landing gear came into contact with multiple taxiway edge lights, causing damage to the lights. The aircraft was inspected by an airport operations vehicle, and no damage to the aircraft was observed. The aircraft subsequently taxied to parking without further incident.
