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 flight instructor retarded the throttle for a forced landing demonstration at the airport. On landing the aircraft bounced and on the subsequent landing the aircraft hit hard and damaged the left main wheel and the wing tip.
