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.

Cessna 182 N738GK flew from kvgt-kbih-ktvl. The pilot attempted to land on runway 18. Pilot noted after crossing the approach end of the runway the aircraft would not settle to land. The pilot made the determination to select a go-around after passing the 2500' marker. Pilot applied full power. The aircraft did not climb, main landing gear made ground contact half way down the runway, the aircraft bounced and the pilot lost control. The nose gear and propeller made initial contact with the ground 135 feet left (east) of the runway centerline. The plane slid for 18 feet shearing off the nose gear and allowing the propeller to strike the ground. The aircraft floated five more feet when the right wing made contact with the ground and sustained substantial damage. The aircraft came to rest upside down pointing north 155 feet left of the runway centerline. The pilot and passenger exited the aircraft and were evaluated by local emergency medical services. Only minor injuries were sustained.
