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.
Flight instructor was performing a check out of a pilot for a specific make/model. The second pilot recieving instruction performed touchdown with slight bounce which caused aircraft to turn. Instructor took controls but was unable to direct aircraft back on center line. Aircraft proceeded off the runway impacting taxiway sign causing the right gear leg to collapse. Both pilots exited the airplane with no injuries.
