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 airman stated that he encountered a minus 15-knot windshear while landing, causing the aircraft to descend rapidly. Hearing the stall warning, he added power and lowered the nose. He said the aircraft continued to descend so he lowered the nose more and landed hard on the runway in a nose-low attitude, striking the propeller.

HE SAID THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO DESCEND SO HE LOWERED THE NOSE MORE AND LANDED HARD ON THE RUNWAY IN A NOSE-LOW ATTITUDE, STRIKING THE PROPELLER.
