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) Pilot stated that he had done about 15 night touch and goes and was performing his last approach. He realized that he was too high but thought he could still make a normal landing. He landed fast and the aircraft took off again. In an effort to stop the takeoff, he pushed the yoke forward which caused the aircraft to start oscillating. The nose wheel landed hard and resulted in the nose wheel falling off the airplane. The pilot, not realizing the damage, tried to execute a go-around. The aircraft's propeller was damaged and the aircraft landed hard back on the runway. The aircraft slid off the runway and, once the nose strut became buried in the dirt, flipped over and came to a rest on its back. The pilot received only minor injuries and the aircraft was destroyed. Tach time: 5971.4, next 100HR due 5972.7, last annual 11/23/04. Airman completed a commercial checkride on 9/3/2005 with emphasis on stabilized approaches. It has been determined through practical test that the airman does not lack the qualifications to hold his airman certificate.
