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) The wheel brakes are actuated on this a/c by extending the dive brak/spoiler control past the full position. On landing, the instructor had full spoilers and during a gust-wheel brakes were inadvertently applied. The instructor reacted by placing the control full off, however, the prop struck the runway.
