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) During a telephone interview conducted on March 12, 2007, with the pilot, privacy data omitted he stated that he was demonstrating an ILS approach for the owner of the aircraft whom was receiving instruction. The CFI pilot privacy data omitted stated the approach was normal but after touchdown the aircraft bounced and the pilot privacy data omitted applied right rudder with little effect. The pilot privacy data omitted then applied more right rudder as the aircraft veered to the left. The pilot privacy data omitted stated the aircraft then rolled to the right resulting in scraping damage to the right wing tip, bending the right elevator, and slightly damaging the right landing gear. The pilot privacy data omitted was asked if there were any mechanical irregularities with the aircraft prior to the accident and he replied "no."
