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 CFI and student were practicing touch and go landings. The flight instructor stated that on the 7th landing, the aircraft touched town a little fast and with a slight side load. The aircraft veered to the right immediately. The flight instructor took over the controls and added power in an attempted rejected landing. Due to a runway sign in the path of the aircraft, the instructor attempted a soft field takeoff technique. The aircraft became airborne for short time but was not high enough to miss the sign. The aircraft impacted the sign and the instructor landed straight ahead in the infield between the two runways.
