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: at approximately 19:10 EST the pilot of the Cessna 210 reported engine roughness and smoke in the cockpit while on a nine mile final approach to runway 23 at (azo) Kalamazoo int'l airport. Upon landing the pilot inadvertently struck the nose gear causing it to separate from the aircraft, thus, also striking the propeller. Number 5 cylinder cracked and separated at the barrel causing oil to flow on to the exhaust manifold creating smoke in the cockpit.
