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) During touch & go ground roll, student pilot selected gear rather than flaps up. Right main and nose landing gear retracted, the right wing and nose settled onto runway, and the aircraft skidded to a stop off the right side of the runway, taking out one taxiway light and resting against a taxiway sign. The right wing and aft most fuselage bulkhead sustained substantial damage.
