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 instrument rated private pilot was operating the aircraft from the left seat with a commercial, multiengine, instrument rated CFI monitoring from the right seat. The purpose of the flight was flight instruction in preparation for a commercial rating. The private pilot landed the aircraft on runway 3 and during rollout, was preparing the aircraft to take off again for a ?touch-and-go?. The main gear remained down and locked, but the nose gear retracted and the aircraft encountered a low speed, low engine RPM prop strike with minor damage to the nose gear doors, lower cowling and exhaust. Maintenance was called to remove the aircraft from the runway. The responding maintenance technicians found the gear handle in the ?up? Position. The nose of the aircraft was raised and the gear handle was placed in the down position and the nose gear extended to the down and locked position and three green lights were noted.
