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.

Pilot came in for a landing at brown field (sdm). He stated that the wind was from 240 to 280 degrees at 10 to 12 knots. He touched down with an airspeed of 0, and due to the wind began to roll backward. Pilot attempted to correct by moving the sick forward. He over corrected and tail came up and prop struck the ground. Pilot immediately notified the tower and had a tug come out and pull him into the hanger. Minor damage on the tips of the prop.
