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.

October 18, 2008, at approximately 0930, I landed on runway 28 at Skylark airport (7B6). I slowed aircraft to a fast walking pace and stepped on the brakes to make turn-off, the aircraft nosed over and after a prop strike, came to a stop balanced on its nose and main wheels. After my landing the runway was changed to runway 10. I stepped out of the aircraft and lifted the prop putting the aircraft back on it's tail wheel. Pilot statement is attached.
