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.

Pilot landed at Eagle Pass airport on runway 13. Upon landing aircraft nose gear struck a runway sign and light just short of runway turnoff causing nose gear to separate from aircraft. Aircraft then continued along taxi way parallel to runway leaving 1500 to 2000 foot scrape marks.
