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) According to the flight instructor aboard, he stated that he was giving the private pilot-owner instrument training. Upon returning to airport, both decided to practice takeoffs and landings. On the fourth landing to runway 27, the pilot allowed the aircraft to yaw to the right with subsequent side loading on the landing gear. Instructor stated that he was late in taking over control. Landing gear subsequently collapsed causing minor damage to the underside of the aircraft. Weather conditions were VFR at the time of the incident with winds northeasterly at 8 knots.
