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) Investigation indicated the a/c bounced on landing and landed in the grass to the left of the runway. The a/c slid sideways until reaching a taxiway, at which time the nose wheel was sheared off, causing damage to the propeller, cowling, right wheel fairing, and pitot tube.
