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.

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23) While practicing maneuvers for a simulated emergency landing over a wheat field, the pilot noticed inadequate altitude and attempted to add power with nose pitch up. The aircraft landing gear struck the wheat stalks, the muddy field and flipped over.
