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.

Airman was on a solo cross country. The arrival and approach were all "normal/stable". The airman bounced the initial landing twice and executed a go around. The airman then preceeded to complete another normal landing without incident returning to the home base without stopping. The damage to the propeller was noticed after landing at the home base.
