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.

^Mr. Joseph hoyle^ was conducting a rental checkout for ^stuart cox^. Several successful landings took place prior to the incident. On the final landing, ^Mr. Cox^ was told twice by ^Mr. Hoyle^ that he was low and finally that he was low and slow. ^mr hoyle^ stated that he attempted to push in the throttle but ^Mr. Cox's^ hand was in the way. The plane landed short of the runway damaging the tires, wheel pants, one fairing, and the propeller struck a threshold light.
