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 September 7, 2018 at 1825 MST, N75600, CE-172-N, was operated by a student pilot on a solo flight alone. The solo pilot was conducting tough and goes on runway (rwy) 25R at kdvt. The touchdown was normal but on the go portion the solo pilot forgot to retract the flaps as when power was applied and the aircraft did not perform as expected by the solo pilot who then elected to abort the take-off but then veered off the runway to the left through the gravel near taxiway bravo (twy b) between rwys 25R and 25L. After shutting the down the airplane student pilot called her instructor on her mobile phone to tell him what happened and that she was not hurt. The instructor called kdvt ops who responded to make sure the runway was clear. Kdvt ferried the instructor out to the aircraft. The instructor looked at the aircraft and found no damage. Kdvt ops and the instructor land pushed the airplane on to the nearest taxiway. He instructor and the student solo pilot then started the aircraft and determined everything was working properly and taxied the airplane back to the hanger without further incident. There was one person on board, the solo student pilot. No aircraft damage or injury.

The instructor counseled the student as to what she did wrong to cause the incident and how she could prevent it in the future. The student received 29.4 hours of flight training from the instructor, all in N75600, that included 136 landings. The instructor gave her 11.4 hours of ground instruction. She passed her pre-solo written test on July 8, 2018. The student also had 4 hours of instruction with another instructor before she started flying with her original instructor.
