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) Instructor pilot stated that the aircraft lost sufficient power from engine to continue climb during takeoff. Instructor pilot performed mag check, check was good and it was determined by the instructor pilot that the aircraft should be immediately landed. Upon hard landing the left shock strut was broken, causing the aircraft to veer off onto the shoulder of the runway where it came to a rest. Damage was sustained to the left wing tip and aileron.
