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 propeller struck the runway and the aircraft stood up on the nose and flipped over. There were no injuries reported. The aircraft owner flipped the aircraft back over by the owner and moved to a nearby hangar for inspection. The aircraft sustained minor damage.
