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.
Student pilot initiated a go-around procedure because he was not set up for a stablized approach. The air traffic controller kept referring to the aircraft as "skyhawk 30U" when he was used to hearing "Cessna 30U" while he overflew the runway, and did not respond to the radio calls.
