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.

Student pilot was landing with full flaps and stalled the aircraft above the runway surface resulting in a hard landing. The instructor took controls and attempted to salvage the landing. The wing tip contacted the surface of the runway causing minor damage to wing.
