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 was repositioning his aircraft into the wind because of high winds in the area. While taxing on the mountain ridge the aircraft wheel hit a hole in the ground and combined with the tail wind the aircraft nosed over and the propeller struck the ground.
