What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Aircraft ground looped during takeoff roll from gravel ski strip 20. Student pilot certificate only with two passengers on board. Student pilot does not have a solo endorsement. Pilot has not received any training in the previous 12 months.
Note: pilot flight time in last 90 days and last year indicate 1 hour, however the pilot did not fly any hours in the last year. The -23 will not allow less than 1 hour or unknown to be entered which is a programming error. The form can not be saved without indicating at least 1 hour of flight, which in this case is not correct.
