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.

On June 8, 2012, the pilot-in-command initiated an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight from the sawyer airport in marquette, MI (ksaw) to the coleman a. young, Detroit city airport (kdet) in Detroit, MI. During the interview with the pilot, he stated that he was rushed to depart sawyer ahead of weather and did not sleep well the night prior to the accident leg. The pilot made a visual approach to runway 33 at the destination, Detroit city airport. During the touchdown, the pilot reported that he flared too high and caused the aircraft to land hard on the nose wheel, causing it to bounce and become airborne again. On the second touchdown, again on the nose wheel, the impact was hard enough to cause the nose gear to be driven up and rearward into the engine compartment, causing the aircraft to lose control and come to rest near the edge of runway 33.upon examination, the aircraft was found to have sustained substantial damage. The propeller was damaged, the nosewheel was driven up and rearward into the engine compartment and sustained damage to the underside of the forward fuselage. The pilot sustained minor injuries and the passenger, who occupied to copilot's seat was uninjured.
