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) Electrical failure forced return to Port Angeles. A/c landed with right gear and nose partially down. On landing, pilot noticed the nose going down further than normal, then heard the prop strike the runway. The pilot states he quickly pulled the a/c's nose up which allowed the nose gear to lock down. As the airspeed descreased, the right wing contacted the ground and was dragged as a result of the partially extended right main gear.
