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) The incident occurred while a certified flight instructor (CFI) was giving dual instruction to a student pilot. During a landing the CFI took the flight controls from the student to apply corrective action. A hard landing occurred causing minor damage to the aircraft. A maintenance report indicates the following parts were replaced (1) part number 0512159-4 (aft bulkhead), (2) part number 053315-1 (bottom rudder tip-plastic), (3) part number MS21047L5 (nut plate), (4) part number 0512156-1 (bulkhead horizontal), (5) 0422344 (eye bolt, tail tie down) and (5) 13-17010 Cessna style tail skid. (-23 amendment 1) note: incident amended to accident. (-23 amendment 2) note: the incident was later amended to an accident (#NYCO7CA247). After consultation with engineers the NTSB chose to downgrade the accident back to an incident (see attached e-mail from NTSB representative).
