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 he has 30 hours in conventional gear aircraft. Combination of incorrect usage of brakes, throttle, and yoke caused aircraft to go over center, flipping the aircraft over on its nose. Subsequent maintenance inspection revaled only damage done was to the prop.
