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.
On landing, the aircraft nose wheel vibrated heavily scaring the student pilot to apply brakes harder than normal. While applying the brakes the pilot lost control of the aircraft veering to the right hitting a runway light with the propeller blade chipping one edge of the blade about the size of half a dime.
