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.

During the third landing the flight instructor reported that the approach was normal, but then the student did not flare. He said the airplane touched down hard once, nose low, and then started to porpoise. After the porpoise, the flight instructor said he took the flight controls for the final landing rollout. The pilot stated that he did not hear the prop strike. He said he was wearing a noise cancelling headset. The pilot reported that the airplane did not have any malfunctions during the flight and weather was not a factor.
