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.

On July 24th, the instructor gave the pilot on the controls a simulated power off emergency. The pilot executed an simulated power off approach to runway 28 at khdn. After touchdown, aircraft begin to oscillate back and forth across the centerline. The instructor took the flight controls and attempted to counter the right veering action. Instructor states, "it's not responding to my inputs." The aircraft exited the runway with a hard right turn which the pilots couldn't counter. During this hard right turn, the nose gear collapsed causing the prop to strike the ground. The aircraft came to rest partially on an taxiway and the sod on the shoulder of a taxiway.
