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.

While practicing full stall landings (3 prior) a gust of wind from the west pushed the aircraft left off the centerline and beyond the edge over the grass. While attempting to add full power the aircraft drifted farther west. Efforts to lift off failed due to temperature and inability to lower nose of aircraft due to low attitude over ground 10-15 feet (EST) decided to land with aircraft under control. Once on ground plane continued forward appros. 600-800 ft and during roll out impacted a construction barrier on or near the taxi-way.
