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.

At touchdown the pilot privacy data omitted reported the nose landing gear axle broke, liberating the nose wheel from the aircraft. The nose wheel contacted the right main flap assy (damage severity unknown, replacement apparently required) subsequently the propeller contacted the runway.
