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: pilot was cleared for the option. Student states that after retracting the flaps a gust of wind or dust devil picked up the right wing and tipped the plane over onto the l wingtip even though he was holding aileron into the r x-wind. After he got the r wing back down with aileron control he aborted t/o and taxied back to the ramp.
