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.

The pilot was executing a go-around on runway 10 at svh as part of a flight review. He stated that during climb-out at approximately 50 feet AGL there was a change in engine sound and the aircraft immediately yawed to the left. Right rudder was applied and power was reduced as the aircraft touched down to the left of the runway and continued across the grass until it struck an embankment and stopped partially on the taxiway. The pilot not flying stated he over-powered the pilot flying inputs without calling control of the aircraft during the incident.
