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.

What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: during a training flight to practice reduced visibility take-offs, the aircraft went off the right side of the runway. The instructor who sat in the right seat, had briefed the student that he was to make a simulated reduced-visibility takeoff. The student misunderstood and began a simulated no-visibility takeoff. After the instructor set power levers he looked up and saw the aircraft moving to the right of the centerline. The instructor took control of the aircraft and aborted the takeoff. The instructor rebriefed the student, who taxied back to the end of the runway and then repeated the takeoff successfully.. The aircraft landed approximately 1.5 hours later and returned to the ramp. After landing and reducing power the crew noticed a vibration from the right engine. After shut-down the crew discovered that the right prop was missing a two inch section of one blade tip. The aircraft had made a temporary runway excursion during the aborted takeoff striking a runway light with one prop blade as it traveled through it's arc of rotation. The crew stated that the incident took place during nighttimeconditions and were unaware that the aircraft had departed the runway until they shut-down and saw the damaged propeller. This report closes this incident.
