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.

Pilot had a normal wheel landing. Once brakes applied, air ported only to the left side causing the aircraft to veer left and off the runway. Pilot tried to correct with right rudder and brake with no response. There was a downgrade to the left and the momentum carried the tail up causing a prop strike.
