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.

(-23) The pilot was attempting a cross wind landing during an instructional flight. The pilot reported that on approach to runway 19 at 1G3, with 30 deg of flaps applied, the aircraft drifted left of the center line. The pilot Mr. Grant said he flared high, floated, and bounced once. Mr. Grant said the pilot attempted to apply power for a go-around with flaps and extended landing gear. Mr. Grant said the instructor pilot aborted the go-around and pulled power off. After touch down the aircraft hit a runway light assembly and went across the grass. The aircraft tracked through a mud/grass wet bog area. After hitting the bog the nose gear separated from the aircraft causing the aircraft to turn left. The left wing was damaged from hitting the ground at this time. Two persons were on board and reported only minor injuries of cut and bruises.
