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; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

While on the flair N441ER pulled up hard and banked sharply to the left followed by a deep nose dive which was partially resolved but not without stricking the runway surface with the airplane's propeller.
