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) The pilot privacy data omitted states that at approximately 1700 hours local time, he departed krhv in N18WB for currency practice in the pattern. During his second landing at khrv, he executed a full flap landing on runway 31R. During his attempt to exit the runway on taxiway "b", he applied too much braking action and the aircraft nosed over and came to rest inverted. He exited the aircraft uninjured. He admits that the accident could have been prevented by applying less braking and ensuring that the control wheel was in the full back position. The aircraft sustained damage to its propeller, wingtip, windshield, and empennage.
