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.

Upon landing runway 24, aircraft landed hard on the nose landing gear causing the propeller to repeatedly strike the pavement for about 400 feet distance. The aircraft then exited the runway off the left side narrowly missing the 4000 foot remaining marker. There were no injuries to the single occupant pilot.
