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.

Pilot 1 in the left seat was giving high performance endorsement instruction to pilot 2 in the right seat. Upon completion of the second landing, pilot 2 retracted the flaps and while turning off the carb heat hit the landing gear select handle to the up position. The nose landing gear collapsed causing the propeller to strike the runway and the aircraft slid to a stop.
