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.

Aircraft was landing runway 35 wwr, on touchdown aircraft deposited black rubber marks from the right mian tire and nose tire on the concrete surface. Marks indicated a vearing to the left where the aircraft departed the runway surface and came to rest in the grass. Damage was observed on the right wing tip fairing ANG approximately 1 foot inboard of the faring on the leading edge. Deposits of aluminum were also found on the runway surface that correspond to the right wing damage. The nosewheel faring was found damaged and the right side wall of the nose wheel was scuffed approximately 1 inch from the outside diameter inward toward the hub. The propeller was also damaged on all three tips approximately 4 inches from tip to hub, corresponding prop strike marks were found on the runway surface for aproxamitly 50 feet. All controls including nose wheel steering were found to be intact and working properly. The firewall and airframe structure were inspected and no abnormalities were found. In a interview the pilot stated that the aircraft seemed as though someone was lifting the tail and just "kept coming over" until it came to rest in a nose down attitude.
