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) During a landing on runway 25 at the Queen city airport (1N9) in Allentown, PA, the student bounced during the landing roll. Subsequently, the student added power, settled on the tail and then on the nose landing gear. As a result, the tail skid separated, and the propeller struck the ground. There were no reported injuries, winds were calm and the weather was VMC.
