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) Aircraft made a rough landing and its propeller struck the runway surface. During the on scene investigation of the aircraft. The prop strike d amage was minimal, the aircraft did not have damage at all, except for the prop tips. The prop strike was so minor that the pilot did not realize that the prop had struck the runway surface. That's why he continued after landing to the aircraft's ramp.
