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.

PIC said he doesn't remember going off runway 29. However, he told the iic that he tapped the runway end light with the left main gear tube fairing. PIC did report to the tower that a runway 29 end light was down. Student rebecca green (in left seat)said runway 29 was best runway to use. She said they bounced and then remembers going sideways at the end of runway 29. She noted a runway end light down as they taxied onto the taxiway. She said the end lights were always to her left.
