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.

During a touch and go landing the private pilot moved the gear handle to the up position with the aircraft on the ground. The nose gear collapsed and the prop struck the ground. He then raised the nose and put the gear handle back down and stopped the aircraft with no farther damage. There was no inury to the pilot and he was sole occupant of the aircraft.
