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) At the time of the accident the instructor stated that he was demonstrating a hovering autorotation at about 5 ft. with the student following him on the controls, the instructor stated that the student pulled up on the collective too rapidly, and during recovery they landed firmly resulting in dynamic rollover.
