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.

The nose landing gear was broken off at the fork attachment to the strut and the propeller was bent backwards approximately 5 inches from the tip with cord wise striations on the front of the blade. The right hand wing tip fairing was scuffed, and the nose gear mount had one broken tube.
