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.

Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the flight conducted under 14 code of federal regulations part 91. The instructor pilot stated at landing on runway 35 the aircraft veered off runway to the left onto the grass as the power was reduced. Instruction was given to the student pilot to add some power and turn back to the runway. The student inadvertently added full power while simultaneously pulling back on the yoke. The aircraft started lifting off the grass, and it was blown toward the trees, where the left wing impacted a small tree in-turn twisting the aircraft around coming to rest just over the fence line. The aircraft was substantially damaged from the impact with the trees, damaging the wings, propeller, landing gear and tail section. The instructor pilot, commercial certificate privacy data omitted.
