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.

March 15, 2022. N8585S was making a landing at the Omar n. Bradley airport in Moberly, MO. When the solo student pilot failed to negotiate his round out and started a porpoise that caused the aircraft to sustain substantial damage to the aircraft firewall, other engine components and propeller as observed by a post accident inspection. The student pilot stated that the porpoise began after initial contact with the runway and that the bounces became worse until the speed slowed down and he brought the aircraft off of the runway. After the student pilot exited the aircraft, he looked it over and noticed that the both propeller tips were curled up.
