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 instructor and student were on a training flight working on an additional airplane asel rating. The student is a helicopter pilot and was working on transitioning to airplane. The student was flying the aircraft and was approaching at a faster than normal approach speed and touched down approximately half way down the runway. The instructor took over the controls and maintained heavy braking action after touchdown until running off the runway and contacting the fence with the nose cone of the airplane.
