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.
While practicing a short field landing, on runway 33, the aircraft veered to the right after touchdown. Both the student pilot and DPE applied left rudder in an attempt to correct with no affect. The aircraft hit a taxiway sign and travelled across the grassy area between the runway and the taxiway. The aircraft crossed a shallow ravine and came to rest adjacent to the taxiway. The right main landing gear collapsed and the right horizontal stabilizer was substantially damaged. There were no injuries to the two occupants.
