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)Student and instructor were practicing touch & go landings on runway 01R. The first touch & go was uneventful. During the second landing roll, control of nosewheel steering was lost and the a/c veered to the left of the runway. The observed wind at that time was from 310 degrees at 18KTS., gusting to 27 knots. There was no damage to a/c and no injuries to either pilot. One runway light was damaged. Subsequent examination of a/c revealed that the shimmy dampner seal was broken and the bungees would not adjust. Both bungees are being replaced.
