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) The pilot privacy data omitted landed in a self described fast, steep landing which resulted in bouncing the aircraft. The resulting damage was a bent nose wheel tube just above where the nose fork attaches.
