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 the instructor pilot, he was conducting flight training to a student when the accident occurred. The instructor was demonstrating approach to landing stall characteristics using zero degree bank, twenty degrees of flap at an altitude of 2,000 feet AGL. At the first indication of an imminent stall the airplane rolled inverted to the right and immediately entered into a flat spin. The instructor was unable to completely recover from the spin before the aircraft impacted the ground. The aircraft came to rest in approximately three feet of water in a marsh.
