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) As a/c touched down in a three point attitude, the a/c immediately pulled to the right. Pilot corrected back to centerline. A/c decelerated rapidly and nosed over on it's back. Post accident investigation by local mechanic revealed that the right wheel brake was dragging making the wheel nearly impossible to turn and the left wheel spun freely.
