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 landed at sez at 0900 hours. Shortly after landing the aircraft began to drift right. The pilot used ailerons to hold the right wing up until the right engine propeller came in contact with the ground. Only one set of propeller marks were found on the runway and they were determined to be made at a low speed and low engine RPM. Aircraft continued right and left the runway abeam the sez terminal building. After leaving the runway the nose gear was bent backwards and the left gear broke off at the oleo strut.
