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.

Per pilot's statement, as he was touching down on final runway approach the aircraft pulled left, but it was controlable. He gave power and aileron control to put the aircraft onto the runway. Per his comments there was not enough runway or room to go around, so in order to to stop the aircraft he elected to pull the yoke forward and full right aileron to power it into the runway, and the aircraft nose wheel gave (causing propeller damage) and the aircraft stopped a few feet from the end of the runway.
