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.

After normal approach aircraft touched down on numbers and centerline, upon touchdown aircraft veered right and departed runway to a grass area where the aircraft nosed over causing the propeller, spinner and engine cowl to strike the ground causing minor damage, pilot was not injured.
