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) Mr. Sparks was giving some instructions to a friend. According to Mr. Sparks the landing in question was uneventful. As the a/c was coming to a stop, Mr. Spark felt the tail coming up. He pulled the yoke all the way back and took his feet off the brakes. He was unable to stop the tail and the a/c flip. The winds were light. Mr. Sparks believes that his student must have unknowingly stepped on the brakes too hard. There were no injuries, visual meteorological conditions prevailed. The aircraft was substantially damaged.
