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: this incident occurred during a dual instruction flight. The student and instructor were conducting touch and go landings on runway 35 with a 13 knot crosswind from the right. The aircraft had landed, the power was at idle and flaps were down when the right wing raised, causing the left wing tip and prop to strike the ground. The instructor stated that the ailerons were properly positioned for the crosswind. The student was manipulating the controls and the instructor attempted to regain aircraft control but was unsuccessful.
