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.

Pilot had been practicing landings with instructor on board. Pilot then flew a solo pattern flight and upon landing came to an "almost full stop". Pilot applied a little "too much" brake pressure and the aircraft nosed over at a very slow speed. Pilot stated she failed to compensate for the lighter aircraft weight without the instructor onboard. Pilot stated that the wind was calm, the runway was dry, and that there were no distractions.
