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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23) On June 23, 2000, at approx. 09:10 am CDT, N4919G, a Cessna 172 operated by a flight instructor and student pilot, was practicing touch and go landings on runway 18 at the Greenville, Illinois airport. The student pilot, who had been manipulating the aircraft controls for these manuevers, had performed several takeoffs and landings without the need for intervention by the flight instructor. At approx. 10:00 am CDT, the flight instructor disembarked the aircraft, checked the prevailing winds, and endorsed the students certificate for solo flight. Thereafter, the student pilot took off on runway 18 at Greenville, and flew the traffic pattern for approach and landing on the same runway. During the landing, the student pilot bounced the aircraft on the runway which resulted in damage to the aircraft nose wheel, firewall, and propeller tips. No injuries were sustained during this event.
