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 touchdown, in an attempt to keep the tail on the ground, pilot pulled the stick further aft. Aircraft was drifting left and believing he would depart the runway and impact the runway light, braked to avoid impact. Instantly, the nose went down making contact with runway, and skidding until final stop.
