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.

While performing touch and goes at dvt, on the take off roll, the nose gear partially collapsed causing the propellor to contact the runway. The aircraft managed to get airborne again and declared an emergency. Upon landing it was found that the propellor was badly damaged. As well, as the entry step and right wing tip had evidence of scraping the ground.
