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)According to instructor pilot ^privac^, this was a multi-engine training flight. The student pilot was making a normal approach to runway 5 at the Molokai Airport. Approximately 200 feet from the runway threshold, the left engine lost power. The student pilot indicated that something was not right. The instructor pilot took control of the aircraft but was unable to maintain directional control. The left wing tip struck the ground damaging only the navigation light. At that point, power was restored on the left engine and the instructor pilot aborted the landing. The aircraft was subsequently landed uneventfully.
