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 may 1, 2017 a CFI from nassua flyers (part 61 flight school) departed republic airport, NY (frg) to pick up his student at monmouth executive airport (blm) in new jersey. The training flight was to be conducted on familurization of the avionics in the SR20 Cirrus aircraft and to conduct airwork, including takeoff and landings. After the airwork it was decided that they would land at Lakewood Airport (N12). There is no asos/awos at this airport so the aircraft was flown over the airport at 2000 feet to observe the wind sock and identify the proper landing runway. Runway 24 was chosen. During the landing flare aircraft dropped onto runway, student pilot initiated a go around. As the aircraft started to climb, it veered to the left side of runway, in which the flight instructor took control. He was unable to realign the aircraft to centerline of runway and during this correction, the aircraft stalled and the right wing struck the ground, in which the entire aircraft cartwheeled and came to a rest in grass area between the runway and taxiway. (This has been confirmed by FBO surveillance video) (copy obtained). The nose gear was sheared off and the engine was sheared from fire wall only being held by harnesses . There were no injuries. CFI and student exited the aircraft after retarding the mixture and throttle, the electric fuel pump and battery switches were closed. Seat belt airbags did not deploy. Aircrafts parashute handle was pinned and it's cb was manually pulled.
