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 student reported that after the airplane climbed above the trees off the end of the runway,the instructor retracted the flaps, and the airplane sank into the trees. According to the instructor, he was unable to maintain altitude 'due to mechanical turbulence above the trees'. The instructor reported that the winds were variable but predominantly from the south.
