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) The student pilot was on his first supervised solo flight. He made two successful touch and go landings. On his third attempt he executed a go-around manuever. On the fourth he landed but the starboard main landing gear came off the ground and the a/c continued forward on the portside main and nose gear, exited the runway, ran into a snowbank and ended up inverted in the snow bank. Located on the southwest corner of runways 35 and 28 at Logan-Cache Airport. The student stated he had excess airspeed during the last landing. The student also stated he could not react soon enough to prevent the a/c from leaving the runway. At the present time it appears both the student and his instructor met the regulatory requirements for solo flight operations.privacy data omitted
