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 landing rollout at approximately 50 KIAS, the aircraft drifted left of centerline and the PIC applied right rudder to correct the drift. The aircraft hit a patch of ice and slid into a snow bank on the edge of the runway causing the nose gear to collapse and resulting prop strike
