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.

(-23) Pilot stated he flew over the numbers at about 85-90 knots-on target for this airplane. The wheels made contact at the desired IFR touchdown point about 5:56 pm EST (2256Z) but the airplane immediately bounced back into the air. The airplane went into a nose high attitude and bounced two more times. The third bounce caused the damage to the aircraft. The pilot was able to taxi off the runway. The pilot wasn't aware of the propeller damage until he shutdown the engine at the epps facility.
