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) Normal landing and normal rollout, ATCT requested pilot to exit 29R @ A2, pilot thought he could make the turn and started to apply light braking, the aircraft was equipped with large smooth tundra tires that provided much more braking action than normal on a dry surface. The tail came up and the propeller struck the runway, no other damage to aircraft.
