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.

During landing rollout on rwy 29, the pilot applied brakes with the right brake seeming to stick causing the airplane to veer towards the edge of the rwy. The pilot applied left rudder and was able to correct somewhat but when he applied more braking the airplane nosed over on the rwy. The airplane slid approximately two feet before stopping with the nose down bending the propeller blades tips, crushing the propeller spinner, and buckling the chin cowl. No major damage sustained.
