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) At 4000' (AGL) the CFI allowed the student to perform a three (3) turn spin. After recovery the CFI took over the controls to perform a clearing turn at which time the CFI noticed a "sluggishness" in the controls. The CFI elected to return to geu to have the aircraft inspected. Further visual inspection revealed numerous overstressed airframe components, particularlyin the wings(ie: ribs buckled, rivets popped). The aircraft will remain grounded until it is determined "repairable". There appears to be numerous areas of hiddent damage. Recommend Cessna engine representative to evaluate damage.
