As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

8-12-14 STUDENT PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ BEGAN A SOFT FIELD TAKOFF ROLL AND AT 30 KNOTS AIRCRAFT YAWED TO LEFT AT LEFT EDGE OF RUNWAY AND PILOT ROLLS AIRCRAFT 16 DEGREES RIGHT CAUSING A RIGHT WING TIP STRIKE WITH THE RUNWAY.

THE STUDENT PILOT NEVER REPORTED INCIDENT TO CAE OXFORD AVIATION ACADEMY PILOT SCHOOL BASED AT FFZ.

8-18-14 A STUDENT PILOT DISCOVERED THE RIGHT WING TIP DAMAGE AND REPORTED IT TO THE PILOT SCHOOL.  ADDITIONAL DAMAGE WAS REPORTED TO THE TAIL SKID PLATE.

THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOT INSPECTED BY THIS OFFICE DUE TO THE AIRCRAFT BEING REPAIRED BEFORE THIS INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO THE FAA.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
