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) Investigative data supports that the student pilot inappropriately dealt with a crosswind from the right side of the aircraft causing the aircraft to veer right. As the aircraft was veering to the right off the runway he made aileron inputs to "turn" the aircraft back to the left, rather than use of rudder, not realizing that the aileron input to the left kept the right wing up and the right main landing gear off the runway for about 450 feet. The right main regained ground contact about 60 feet after leaving the taxiway. Data also supports that the student pilot had some power applied thus explaining the distance the airplane traveled after landing. The aircraft traveled at an angle on the runway for about 500 feet and departed the runway near the mid-field taxiway. It then traveled over a taxiway sign that the left main and nose gear, and the propeller struck as well as the lower left side of the engine cowling. The propeller also struck the ground just 2 feet beyond the sign. The aircraft traveled about another 450 feet across a grass area just short of the parallel taxiway where the student pilot stopped the aircraft. The propeller indicated that some power was applied asevidenced by the forward bending of the propeller.

THE PROPELLER ALSO STRUCK THE GROUND JUST 2 FEET BEYOND THE SIGN. THE AIRCRAFT TRAVELED ABOUT ANOTHER 450 FEET ACROSS A GRASS AREA JUST SHORT OF THE PARALLEL TAXIWAY WHERE THE STUDENT PILOT STOPPED THE AIRCRAFT. THE PROPELLER INDICATED THAT SOME POWER WAS APPLIED ASEVIDENCED BY THE FORWARD BENDING OF THE PROPELLER.
