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.

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Narrative: on October 21, 1995 Mr. Brian k. olson operated Cessna 150, N9108U, as pilot in command on an instructional flight for pro flight air, inc., Springfield, Missouri. Mr. Olson and joanie hawkins, a student pilot, had been operating Cessna N9108U in the local practice area for about 45 minutes. While recovering from a power off stall, the aircraft engine and propeller suddenly quit resulting in an emergency landing. Brian olson, the flight instructor, attempted an air start with no success. At approximately 1600 CDT, Mr. Olson landed the aircraft in a farm field eight miles west-southwest of Springfield-branson regional airport (sgf). There were no injuries to the crew and no damage to the airplane. Company mechanics from pro flight air arrived on the scene, inspected the airplane and returned it to service. Mr. Olson then flew Cessna N9108U back to sgf without further incident. Flight school management personnel stated that the instructor admitted that he and his student had been operating the aircraft with power "off", carb heat "on" and a full rich mixture just prior to the engine failure. The throttle was advanced abruptly by the student pilot during the stall recovery. Brian olson, was given company remedial training by the chief flight instructor of pro flight air and was counseled by the FAA. This incident report is closed.
