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 flight instructor failed to intervene before the aircraft veered off to the right side off the runway and then landed hard in the grass after completing a left 180 degree turn, just a few feet above the ground. The flight instructor, the student pilot flying the airplane and another student seated in the back did not experience any injuries. The aircraft was found to be substantially damaged during a subsequent inspection.
