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 private pilot was practicing full stop landings on runway 19 at Lincoln Park airport in his Cessna 182P. Visual flight rules prevailed and the wind was calm. On the fourth landing the pilot flared too high above the runway, resulting in a loss of airspeed, and without correcting for the error, stalled the aircraft on to the runway, causing a very hard landing. The aircraft sustained substantial damage to the aircrafts front section,propeller, front landing gear and substantial damage to the aircrafts firewall. The pilot sustained no injuries.
