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.

Damage to the propeller occurred from it impacting the surface of the runway, resulting in both propeller blade tips being bent aft. The right main landing gear strut and nosewheel gear strut appear deformed, and the noswheel?s fairing and left wing tip sustained damage. All landing gear tires remained inflated. Damage is considered minor based on NTSB qualifications.
