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.
The solo student pilot was practicing landings at Colorado Springs airport (kcos) on runway 17L and 12. Winds were reported at 140 v 170 14G20. After eight successful touch and go's he lost control of the aircraft on landing on the 9th landing. The aircraft bounced on the runway, and subsequent attempt to recover resulted in a hard nosewheel-first landing, which damaged the nosewheel. While attempting to taxi clear of the runway, the nosewheel collapsed resulting in a propeller strike on the pavement. There were no injuries.
