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)After landing the PIC was taxing to the ramp when the nose wheel started to shimmy. He applied brakes and the aircraft made a hard right turn causing the aircraft to tip over to the left/front side and the left wing tip and propeller made contact with the ground. Inspection of the aircraft reveiled that the nose gear shimmy damper and both steering rods were broke.
