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.

The nosewheel collapsed, and the propeller struck the runway. During on-scene investigation, it was discovered that the effective registration certificate was not on board the aircraft during operation. privacy data omitted
