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.

At 1805 MST N5209P, a turbo Cessna 182, piloted by alfred a. bianco (pvt pilot cert # privacy data omitted) experienced a hard landing on runway 21 at Flagstaff Pulliam Airport. The skies were clear, the wind was reported as 250 at 13 gusting to 19 at 1757 LCL.the pilot was cleared to land after reporting a mid-field down wind. He then executed a normal pattern and states that he was aligned with the VASI. When he executed the landing flare the aircraft did not touch down as he expected, but "dropped" to the runway and bounced twice. On the second bounce the aircraft bounded higher than on the first. At that point, Mr. Bianco executed a go-around. He was not aware of any damage to the aircraft at that point. He then announced the go-around and was given left traffic. He executed a normal pattern and landed without further incident. After landing he taxied to the FBO and shut the aircraft down. He realized the extent of the damage after he began securing the aircraft. The aircraft had buckling on the fuselage under the pilot's side, near the landing gear. The prop exhibited damage on all 3 tips. The firewall was also bent and there was paint scraped off of the wheel pant on the nose wheel.
