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.

The student pilot approached to land with excessive airspeed and made an attempt to force the aircraft to land before the speed was appropriately reduced. As a result, the aircrafts contact with the ground caused it to bounce back into the air. The student pilot attempted to stabilize the aircraft, however applied excessive control inputs resulting in pilot induced oscillations about the lateral axis. The oscillations subsided as the aircraft speed was reduced. The pilot was not injured. The aircraft sustained structural damage.
