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.

Narrative: student and instructor performing touch and goes, first landing was hard but without event. Second landing nose gear collapsed after 800 ft ground roll. Inspection showed that actuator attach point on firewall was cracked which allowed locking devise to fail.
