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.

Pilot reported that upon landing roll the aircraft started to veer to the left side of the grass strip and would not respond to rudder (tail wheel) correction. When brakes were applied the prop struck the ground and dug in causing the aircraft to slowly flip over. Examination of the aircraft showed continuity of the rudder/tail wheel controls.
