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 PIC reported the following: the incident occurred on runway 25 at kwbw. While my student was performing the takeoff, the aircraft (N5207Q) reached a speed of approximately 40MPH when we struck a deer running across the runway. Due to the flight being conducted under night conditions, the deer was unable to be seen, making the situation unavoidable.
