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.

December 20, 2016 at 1645 z, N199TX, a Cessna R182, experienced a hard landing at Richmond Municipal Airport (krid). The registered owner is dayton pilots club, inc., operated by a member/ private pilot under the provisions of 14 CFR part 91. The pilot was not injured. The aircraft suffered minor damage.

The private pilot departed dayton-wright brothers airport direct to Richmond regional airport for a routine proficiency flight. Reported weather; winds 210 @ 10 gusting 15, visibility +10, clear skies. The pilot reported he was performing the ILS approach to runway 240. His approach speed was approximately 10 knots higher than his standard. The initial touchdown resulted in a bounced landing that the pilot estimated to be 5? To 6? High, followed by a second bounce landing estimated to be 4? To 5? High. During the second bounce, the nose landing gear fork fractured releasing the nose wheel assembly. After the third touchdown, the pilot regained control of the aircraft.
