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 was landing with student pilot at controls. The CFI aboard stated that after touchdown on rwy 25R he noted the student was using excessive braking and instructed him to ?engage reverse? And ?reduce braking pressure?. At that time the aircraft the left side of the aircraft dropped several inches and the aircraft veered to the left approximately 20 degrees. The CFI issued the command ?my controls? And applied right rudder input. As full right rudder input was applied the aircraft left the paved runway area and entered midfield. As the CFI continued to manipulate the controls the aircraft straightened out and came to a complete stop.

Aircraft had no visible damage other than a blown left tire. No one on board received injuries during the landing.
