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.
Weather and conditions were good. Approach and speed were good, a go around did not seem necessary. Upon landing, front end bounced hard once during landing, front landing gear failed/collapsed. Pilot stated he had bounced the front end of the aircraft during previous landings with no issues - aircraft operated and taxied normal and without issue prior to takeoff.
