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 incident aircraft was operated under an instructional flight (flight review) under 14 CFR part 91 on July 2, 2019. The flight departed the I67 airport and transitioned to the practice area. The flight then flew to the oxd airport to perform landing practice. On the third landing at oxd (while practicing a short field landing technique), the private pilot, who was the sole manipulator of the flight controls, let the aircraft get slower than target airspeed and lower than target altitude on final approach to landing. The flight instructor told the private pilot to "add power". However, the private pilot reacted too late to arrest the descent. The aircraft touched down before the runway, the nose landing gear struck a cement pad with a runway threshold light on it causing damage to the nose landing gear. When the nose gear touched down the second time, farther down the runway, the nose gear collapsed. Damaged was noted to the nose, nose gear and propeller of the aircraft.

As the FAA filed it

THE INCIDENT AIRCRAFT WAS OPERATED UNDER AN INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT (FLIGHT REVIEW) UNDER 14 CFR PART 91 ON JULY 2, 2019. THE FLIGHT DEPARTED THE I67 AIRPORT AND TRANSITIONED TO THE PRACTICE AREA. THE FLIGHT THEN FLEW TO THE OXD AIRPORT TO PERFORM LANDING PRACTICE. ON THE THIRD LANDING AT OXD (WHILE PRACTICING A SHORT FIELD LANDING TECHNIQUE), THE PRIVATE PILOT, WHO WAS THE SOLE MANIPULATOR OF THE FLIGHT CONTROLS, LET THE AIRCRAFT GET SLOWER THAN TARGET AIRSPEED AND LOWER THAN TARGET ALTITUDE ON FINAL APPROACH TO LANDING. THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR TOLD THE PRIVATE PILOT TO "ADD POWER". HOWEVER, THE PRIVATE PILOT REACTED TOO LATE TO ARREST THE DESCENT. THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN BEFORE THE RUNWAY, THE NOSE LANDING GEAR STRUCK A CEMENT PAD WITH A RUNWAY THRESHOLD LIGHT ON IT CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE NOSE LANDING GEAR. WHEN THE NOSE GEAR TOUCHED DOWN THE SECOND TIME, FARTHER DOWN THE RUNWAY, THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. DAMAGED WAS NOTED TO THE NOSE, NOSE GEAR AND PROPELLER OF THE AIRCRAFT.
