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.

Attempted to correct with aileron input as directed by CFI. Consequentially he experienced lifting of the left wing. During correction for this the left wing contacted the runway, followed by the right wing contacting the runway. This ended with the aircraft sliding off of the runway and coming to a stop.
