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)While landing at a mountainous remote strip, the pilot claims a severe tailwind gust picked up the aricraft. According to the pilot, he did not have sufficient airspeed to initiate a go-around, so, instead, he intentionally applied hard right rudder to keep the aircraft on the ground. The nose gear hit a hole which sheared ot off. The aircraft's forward monentum caused the aircraft to flip over and come to a rest inverted.
