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) During the student pilot's third landing of his first solo flight the aircraft touched down on the main wheels, bounced into the air and landed again on the nose wheel. The nose wheel failed allowing the propeller to strike the runway.
