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 student pilot related to operations inspector rollins , he felt rushed by ATC and came in for the landing high and too fast, but still decided to continue with the landing phase of the Flight. This resulted in a hard landing, the aircraft bounced and then scraped the right wing on the ground, thus striking the propeller.
