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.

This incident was reported via a complaint several months after it occurred. On July 11, 2019 N759WM was landing at Hot Springs memorial field (hot) approximately 1930. After the main gear made contact with the ground, the nose gear made contact and veered the aircraft to the right. The airman was unable to maintain control of the aircraft as it went into the grass. Airmen reported shaking nose gear on a previous landing. Aircraft damage consisted of wingtip and prop strike. At the time of the incident weather reports indicated calm winds and VFR conditions.

After the incident an annual inspection was completed on the aircraft which found that the dampner had been sticking and producing metal for a period of time before the incident.
