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 January 15, 2007 the pilot CFI privacy data omitted was providing instructional flight in a multi-engine airplane for private pilot privacy data omitted. On take-roll roll on runway 23, the pilot CFI ^priva^ pulled the left engine mixture to simulate an engine out condition. The aircraft veered sharply to the left and departed the runway and striking the VASI control box. The aircraft sustained minor damage to the left engine propeller tip, right flap, and right engine cowl. Neither the pilot ^priva^ nor privacy data omitted sustained any injuries. Note: due to the design of the BE-95, application of the brakes is not available from the right front seat.
