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.

She estimated three bounces before the aircraft came to rest. Four groups of prop strike scars on runway 7R extended approximately 150 feet ending at the northeast corner of the intersection of runways 7R and 34.
