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

(-23) During an off field wheel landing, the pilot applied the brakes while the aircraft was in a level wheel landing attitude in such a manner that the deceleration caused the aircraft to nose over and come to rest inverted.
