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.

The nose pitched up and the airplane struck the runway. The instructor pilot reported that the "winds were shifting directions" but that the student had proper wind correction and the alnding was "without any problems", the sinds were reported to be 160 degrees at 8 knots.
