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 PIC performed a successful landing on runway 27 and slowed to taxi speed. As the PIC further slowed the aircraft to turn around on the runway, she applied the brakes on the aircraft hard enough to cause the aircraft to begin to nose over. She stated that as she saw the aircraft start to nose over, she may have reflexively pressed the brakes further. The propeller impacted the runway multiple times before the engine stopped. The PIC exited the aircraft and, with the assistance of the airport manager, moved the aircraft to a tie down location on the ramp. Inspection of the aircraft revealed damage to the propeller, spinner and lower engine cowling. All damage is classified as minor.
