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 04/14/07 the instructor pilot was giving tail wheel landing instruction. The pilot receiving the instruction landed the airplane and began to veer left of the runway centerline. The pilot overcorrected with right pedal and veered sharply to the right. The aircraft began a ground loop. The instructor pushed on the left pedal and simultaneously applied the left brake. The aircraft had a side load on the landing gear. This caused the left landing gear to buckle underneath. No injuries to the pilots. After inspection by airworthiness personnel, the damage to the aircraft was determined to be minor.
