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) Pilot & student pilot were conducting touch and go procedures. In the take-off phase, student pilot reached over to select flaps up but selected gear up instead of flaps up. The pilot in command saw the student pilot place his hand on the gear selector handle and was in the process to intervene, but was too late which resulted in the collapse of the nose landing gear. privacy data omitted
