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.

On April 7, 2017 at kbed, an incident occurred involving a PA-28R from the result of the nose gear collapsing on the runway. There were two souls onboard, a student and his instructor, with no injuries. The student pilot unintentionally raised the gear handle, instead of raising the flaps, while performing a touch and go. The nose gear then collapsed on the runway during the take-off roll.
