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 pilot stated he landed on runway 14 at srq with the landing gear extended and 3 green lights illuminated. After an uneventful and normal touchdown the nose gear collapsed causing the propeller to strike the runway. The nose landing gear doors and lower fuselage also contacted the runway. Then the main gear also collapsed.
