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.

(-23) Pilot stated that he came in too fast and bounced, then the landing became arrogated and he started to porpoise down the runway. He then lost control of the aircraft causing damage to the propeller, nose gear and flaps.
