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 student elected to land the aircraft in a clearing next to a golf course approximately 1 nautical mile south/southwest from the departure end of runway 17. There was no damage to the aircraft or the student. Post examination of the aircraft revealed no anomalies.
