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.
Airman was giving dual training to a student pilot in the traffic pattern. Wind was a gusting right crosswind, 45 degrees at 12 to 15 knots. He allowed the student to get too slow over the downwind edge of the runway before initiating a go around. Student was slow to release the controls and allow him to adjust the aircraft attitude, so the airplane stalled and touched down in the gravel on the edge of the runway.
The crew was not injured, the airplane sustained minor damage.
