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

Mr. Siegel (instructor), was conducting a simulated power-off landing to runway 22, however he allowed the training pilot (Mr. Hackman) to land short of the runway.
