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) This was a VFR flight and the pilot stated he was landing and heard that there was another aircraft behind him and he hurried himself to exit the runway quickly at too high a rate of speed thus hitting a cement implanted runway light thus collapsing the nose wheel. This was pilot error and no mechanical items were found to be attributed to this event. privacy data omitted
