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 August 17, 2012, at 1213 pm, N855CD, a Cirrus sr 20 operating part 91 VFR, landed on runway 23 at Myrtle beach, SC, at the grand strand (cre) airport. The aircraft landed and began to porpoise as it slowed to exit the runway causing a propeller strike to all three blades. There was one soul on board with no injuries. The damage to the aircraft is minor. The student pilot was on his second leg of his solo long cross country. His route was kjqf-kflo-kcre-kjqf. He took off from kflo going to kcre after completing his first leg. He came into kcre and had visual contact with the field. He made a 45 degree entry into the right downwind for runway 23 as per instructions. He made a normal approach to landing and as he came close to touchdown the nose abruptly dropped and made contact. This caused the aircraft to porpoise. He brought the aircraft to a stop and taxied to the ramp. He did not realize at the time that he had had a propeller strike. It was not until he had shut down and exited the aircraft that he saw that the propeller had made contact with runway. The aircraft remains at kcre. Icc called the NTSB. Since the damage to the aircraft was minor, the NTSB released the aircraft to ramp 66, (the maintenance facility at cre). The propeller and powerplant have been removed for overhaul/repair.
