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 FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23)While taxing at Bullhead City aiport, the aircraft brakes failed during a 6FT bracking turn, causing the aircraft to depart the taxiway surface onto the sand. Once the nose gear entered the sand area, the nose gear collapsed causing the prop to strike the ground.
