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.

Landed long on touch and go tried abort takeoff. Lost control. Ran off runway into deep snow. Flipped over. (-23) while practicing touch and goes, the student stated that he landed long on runway 18 because he was high on the approach. He thought he would run out of runway so he began to veer off the right hand side of the runway. When the nosewheel contacted the snow, the aircraft tipped forward on the nose, hit the left wing, then came back down on the wheels.
