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.

During the rollout phase of landing, the aircraft drifted left of the center of the runway. The pilot initiated corrective actions, right rudder and right brake application. The aircraft kept going left and the propeller struck the ground. The aircraft came to rest on its nose.
