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) On November 03, 2000, approx. 1123 PDT a/c N39MF a christen eagle ii nosed over while on runway 31L at Reid Hillview airport (rhv) pilot stated that while starting to brake on the landing rollout the a/c began to pull slightly to the right. Seeing that he had enough room to slow down and remain on the runway he stayed on the brakes. Braking hard evidently created a momentum that lifted the tail and tilted the nose down in an instant, just before coming to a complete stop on the runway. The sole occupant was not injured. The a/c propellor received minor damage. No flight plan was filed, visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of incident.
