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.
Aircraft had flown 1.3 hours prior to the accident during which multiple takeoff and landings were performed. On climb out during the last takeoff the airman banked to the right at about 500 feet AGL and the engine quit running. The flight instructor took control of the aircraft and landed hard on the glacier. The landing collapsed the main landing gear.
