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 lowered the nose of the aircraft to compensate for floating down the runway, in an attempted to land. As the aircraft continued to float down the runway the pilot applied full power to go around. The propeller struck the runway, as a result the propeller come apart and was destroyed. This allowed the nose wheel to contacted the runway and collapse, flipping the aircraft on it's back.
