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) On June 25, 2004, Mr. Glenn e. barber, holder of student pilot certificate FF2774161, performed three touch-and-go landings at Odessa airport (odo) with his instructor on board. The instructor stepped out of the aircraft and Mr. Barber performed two solo touch-and-go landings without incident. Mr. Barber then decided to perform a soft field landing on runway 11 because of changes in the wind direction. He stated that he came in hot and flared too soon causing the aircraft to porpoise. The aircraft bounced two times. On the second bounce the nose gear collapsed causing damage to the engine/nose gear mount and one propeller tip. No injuries were reported.
