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 final approach to L35'S taxiway (used as a temporary runway while the main runway was being resurfaced), the aircraft landed on the parallel service road, bounce, rotated and came to a stop in a clump of bushes next to the road. There was no injuries to the instructor or student pilot. The instructor pilot claimed that wind shear conditions caused the aircraft to yaw violently and become non-responsive to flight inputs.
