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.

Upon returning to the runway the front gear collapsed causing the aircraft to skid to a stop. The pilot and the passengers sustained no injuries, and the aircraft incurred minor damaged. The on scene investigation confirmed that the aircraft nose gear collapsed and was torn off of the aircraft. Both engine propellers were damaged; the nose of the aircraft was damaged, but there was no damage to the aircraft bulkhead. The aircraft flight controls continuity check was performed and no discrepancy found.
