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 privacy data omitted was receiving instructions from his instructor. Both pilots briefed the procedure to be used for doing takeoffs and landings. During the second landing, pilot privacy data omitted reached for the gear instead of the flaps. The instructor stopped pilot privacy data omitted by grabbing his hands. However, pilot privacy data omitted overpowered the instructor and moved the gear handle to the up position. Only the nose gear retracted, causing the propeller to strike the ground. Aircraft sustained minor damage, there were no injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed.
