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) Aircraft entered left downwind for runway 1 at Cincinnati West (KI67), during normal flare the left main gear was near the left edge of the runway. The left main gear caught the snowbank and the aircraft was pulled into the snowbank. The aircraft nosed down slightly and the propeller came in contact with the snowbank and ground briefly. The result was a bent propeller.
