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.

^Mr. Peter lynn^ stated that on Sunday April 19, 2015 he was flying N100PM a Cessna 172 at approximately 1620Z he was landing at kapf ( Naples Municipal Airport) on runway 23. At the time of hes landing ATIS information juliet was current and reporting that winds were from 200 at 11 knots and gusting 18 knots. While he was on short and final, he asked the tower for a wind check and they reported winds from 170 at 12 knots. As he crossed over the displayed threshold the plane was configured with full flaps and he's indicated air speed was between 75-80 knots. Just as he flared the planes nose to about 5 degrees for touchdown a strong wind gust lifted the planes nose up about a 30 degree angle. At this point the plane lost lift and dropped hard onto the runway then bounced up and again dropped down hard on the runway. After this several smaller bounces occurred before the plane settled. He departed the runway onto taxiway b and taxied to rexair. After shutting the plane down he saw one tip of the propeller was bent inward. Also he was unable to push the yoke forward FAR enough to insert the gust lock.
