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.

When configured for a touch-and-go landing, the aircraft touched down slightly to the right of centerline in a slight left crab. The right seat pilot/flight instructor stated the left seat pilot overcorrected with excessive left rudder and brakes and then froze up on the controls. The aircraft exited the runway and overturned in the soft dirt.

The left seat pilot stated I touched down slightly right of centerline, maybe 300-500 feet down the runway. The right main touched first, followed by the left main and then the nose wheel within about 1-2 seconds. A slight left crab was detected of about 1-3 degrees, as the plane was tracking down the runway. As I was about to put in right rudder, the instructor grabbed the yoke with both hands and applied full left aileron. I relinquished control. The plane immediately turned left and eventually began to slide as the turn approached the 90 degree point. The instructor kept full left aileron throughout the maneuver until we exited the runway hard surface, hit the dirt, and flipped over.

As the FAA filed it

WHEN CONFIGURED FOR A TOUCH-AND-GO LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT OF CENTERLINE IN A SLIGHT LEFT CRAB. THE RIGHT SEAT PILOT/FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR STATED THE LEFT SEAT PILOT OVERCORRECTED WITH EXCESSIVE LEFT RUDDER AND BRAKES AND THEN FROZE UP ON THE CONTROLS. THE AIRCRAFT EXITED THE RUNWAY AND OVERTURNED IN THE SOFT DIRT.

THE LEFT SEAT PILOT STATED I TOUCHED DOWN SLIGHTLY RIGHT OF CENTERLINE, MAYBE 300-500 FEET DOWN THE RUNWAY. THE RIGHT MAIN TOUCHED FIRST, FOLLOWED BY THE LEFT MAIN AND THEN THE NOSE WHEEL WITHIN ABOUT 1-2 SECONDS. A SLIGHT LEFT CRAB WAS DETECTED OF ABOUT 1-3 DEGREES, AS THE PLANE WAS TRACKING DOWN THE RUNWAY. AS I WAS ABOUT TO PUT IN RIGHT RUDDER, THE INSTRUCTOR GRABBED THE YOKE WITH BOTH HANDS AND APPLIED FULL LEFT AILERON. I RELINQUISHED CONTROL. THE PLANE IMMEDIATELY TURNED LEFT AND EVENTUALLY BEGAN TO SLIDE AS THE TURN APPROACHED THE 90 DEGREE POINT. THE INSTRUCTOR KEPT FULL LEFT AILERON THROUGHOUT THE MANEUVER UNTIL WE EXITED THE RUNWAY HARD SURFACE, HIT THE DIRT, AND FLIPPED OVER.
