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.

Pilot stated that during landing on his grass strip behind his house he struck a fence post. The aircraft was then ballooned and was landed on the nose gear. The aircraft was then turned sharply to avoid the fence and trees at the end of the strip. The nose gear was torn out from it's mounting.
