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 stated while landing on runway 11 (man), he felt rushed to exit the runway for landing traffic behind him and used excessive braking when making the turn onto the taxi way. He stated he was carrying excessive speed when beginning to exit the runway and applied left differential breaking, adding power when exiting the runway, resulting in the nose over. Damage was limited to the propeller and engine.
