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) Accident occurred during a night landing following an ILS approach in VMC. By the pilot's statement a significant gust caused the aircraft to assume a nose low attitude during the landing flare. There was a subsequent hard landing on the nose gear and a minor prop strike ensued. The pilot recovered from the porpoising caused by the nose first landing. The aircraft was taxied to the parking ramp.
