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

(-23) Landed on gravel bar behind his house. Due to gusting crosswinds (19G25) and excessive use of brakes the aircraft nosed over striking the prop on the gravel bar, damaging approx. 2" at the prop end. Consulted with his CFI and expressed my concerns of needed extra instruction/training in gusting wind conditions. privacy data omitted
