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.

The airman departed on a short flight under VFR from the private strip at his rural residence to the Willmar airport (bdh). The aircraft landed at Willmar gear up. The landing caused minimal abrasion damage to the airframe. The prop strike sheared off the outer several inches of both blades.
