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.

Per the pilot's statement: he came in to land with 2 notches of flaps and was still a little high. When he touched down, the back wheels hit first, closely followed by the nose wheel. He could not keep the plane straight and kept turing left and right and he had no control. He took a hard left which was not under his control, onto the taxiway where the nose wheel collapsed and the prop hit the ground.
