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.
After the aircraft landed on the runway and during the landing rollout the student started to clean up the aircraft for takeoff. The student moved the gear handle instead of the carburetor heat handle. The nose gear started to retract causing the aircraft to fall onto the nose striking the propeller with the ground and then it slid to a stop.
