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.

While taxing, the nose wheel of the super Bellanca collapsed during a right turn and damaged the propeller. The engine was at low RPM. When FSDO inspectors inspected the aircraft, the electric-driven hydraulic system was not operating.
