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.

N377LD completed ILS cno ILS26R with circle to land rwy 3. Aircraft taxied clear of rwy 3 at twy a and was proceeding westbound to twy k when pilot was unable to keep tail from rising due to strong right aft quartering wind (050 at 14 knots). Prop strike grazed taxiway with engine and prop continuing to turn until PIC completed engine shutdown. Airport operations personnel helped pilot secure aircraft and tow it to parking.
