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 student pilot was landing at 26N as part of the cross country solo training requirement. The crosswinds were stronger than anticipated and required one go-around. On the second approach it appeared to the pilot that the winds were within his prescribed solo limitations and landed normally. On rollout the aircraft departed the runway and struck a runway sign. The left flap and the underside of the left wing were damaged. The pilot was uninjured and taxied to parking.
