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.

(-23) PIC stated that the airplane began "porpoising" during her landing. The aircraft contacted the runway twice before she pushed the nose down to level out. The airplane drifted to the left due to a cross-wind, and the nose gear contacted the runway. PIC applied the brakes and the nose gear collapsed.
