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 completed his part of the airshow and landed on the grass runway at NY94. While on rollout at the end of the runway as the aircraft was crossing a gravel road, the pilot applied brakes which caused the aircraft to nose-over onto its back. The aircraft sustained minor damage to the vertical stabilizer, rudder and the propeller.
