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 accident occurred on October 17, 2021, at approximately 1555 local time. A CFI and student pilot were practicing short/soft field landings at Avey Field (69S). There were three landing attempts. The first two were attempted by CFI, and both resulted in a go-around. The controls had been passed to the student on the third attempt which resulted in the runway overrun, possibily due to shifting winds.
