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.
After take-off at approximately 200 feet the upper engine cowling was observed by the student pilot to "lift up". The student pilot reduced the throttle, lowered the aircraft nose and the cowling then seperated from the aircraft. The aircraft was landed on the departure runway without further incident.
