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.

Aircraft bounced several times during landing on runway 35. Propeller impacted the runway surface, the tips broke off and curled back. The nose gear collapsed.

Aircraft continued forward movent on runway after the gear collapsed and the propeller was bent and broken.

A continuous tire skid mark from the broken nose gear was obvious for approximately 600 feet, until the aircraft finally came to a stop at the intersection of runway 35 and taxiway echo.
