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.

Instructor was conducting training with a student pilot in the accident aircraft. The student pilot questioned whether the aircraft was performing normally (developing full power). On their second takeoff, the instructor and student indicated a partial loss of power. The aircraft subsequently stalled at approximately 150 feet AGL. The instructor took control of the aircraft and was able to land (just off the end of the runway) without injury to him or the student pilot. The aircraft sustained substantial damage.
