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) On 05/21/02 aircraft N791T was cleared for a final approach to runway 22L, on the approach, the student overshot his final. He was directed by the flight instructor to line up with the runway centerline. The aircraft started to veer off to the left of centerline, the student advanced throttles to do a go-around. But announced that aircraft was not getting power. The flight instructor took control of the aircraft and verified all controls were pushed forward. He retracted the flaps full up, started a go-around procedure but the airplane kept yawing left. The aircraft never took flight and the landing gear remained down according to the flight instructor, then engines were not producing power. The aircraft left the runway and veered left into the grassy area. Conclusion: I will need a detailed engine report, to assess possible contributing factors. I have requested the owner provide me with a detailed report after the engine is inspected. The owner is sending the engine to FAA engine repair station for teardown and inspection. The teardown inspection and findings will provide a detailed report of any possible malfunctions which may have contributed to an engine failure.
