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

Pilot was flying as PIC from the right seat in strong wind conditions. On flare to land a gust of wind caught the a/c causing the PIC to over correct hitting the nose bear hard enough to collapse the gear.
