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.

During a practice flight on a grass area next to the runway. The student pilot experienced an accident during the landing roll-out phase. The pilot applied the brakes, which resulted in a loss of control, causing the aircraft to nose over. This led to a propeller strike and substantial damage to the airframe. The pilot did not sustain any injuries. Upon review, the aircraft's records confirmed it had the proper certification and did not have a current annual inspection. An examination of the pilot's records verified that they held the correct certification and endorsements.
