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:on April 24, 1997 at approximately 2:30 pilot was returning to hwo to drop banner. When he attempted to release banner, there was no response. Pilot landed on runway 9L. As the aircraft's main landing gear touched the ground a cross wind blew the banner on to the grass. The drag of the banner over stressed the rope connected to the tail hook causing the rope to break, which gave a sling-shot reaction to the aircraft to tip forward causing the propeller blades to strike the runway.
