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.

Narrative: civil air patrol instructor pilot demonstrated procedures for engine failure after takeoff during obstacle clearance climb at vx speed. At 100' AGL, engine failure was simulated with aircraft in level attitude, nose lowered. At 10' AGL, full power was applied and go -around attempted. Due to high sink rate, the aircraft impacted the runway, shearing off the nose wheel. The prop contacted the runway and the aircraft slid to a halt.
