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.

The aircraft was on final approach nearing approximately 20 feet AGL in a nose high attitude of approximately 20 degrees. At approximately 10 feet AGL the nose of the aircraft pitched abruptly from the nose high attitude to a nose low attitude with an immediate loss of altitude striking runway 36 compressing the nose strut, then striking the propeller onto the runway.
