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.

On June 21, 2020, at approximately 0752 LCL, during the second 3-point landing of the day, a normal touchdown was performed, then, during the landing rollout, the aircraft slowly pulled to the right. The PIC thought there might have been a brake problem, so the PIC verified he was not on the brakes and was only applying left rudder. As the aircraft came to a stop on the runway, the tail came up and the prop struck the runway. The fire department responded and the occupants exited the aircraft. The propeller was the only part of the aircraft that contacted the runway. Neither occupants received any injuries.
