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. Corriero in his statement indicates that while attempting to complete a touch and go landing he heard the stall warning activate just before liftoff and decided to abort the take off and lowered the nose of the aircraft. The aircraft began to roll onto the grass and Mr. Corriero applied heavy braking, and applied right rudder attempting to ground loop the aircraft. The aircraft turned 90 degrees to the right and struck some trees damaging both wings.
