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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Narrative: on April 11, 1995 at approximately 1445 hours, a Cessna 172P, N9594L, piloted by joseph b. baldino, a private pilot, experiences some difficulties while landing with a gusty wind on runway 09 at the Cross Keys Airport, williamstown, NJ (17N). He made a hard landing on the nose gear tire causing a blowout and damage to the prop (runway strikes) while attempting to retain directional control of the airplane. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and a flight plan had not been filed. The aircraft received minor damage and the pilot, sole occupant, was not injured. The pilot stated his base leg was too close in for landing and he should have aborted, however, he had made up his mind that he was going to land the aircraft. His approach speed was high (80-85) due to a quartering tailwind and the airplane wanted to keep flying, so, he forced it onto the runway blowing the nose gear tire. privacy data omitted This incident is considered closed.
