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.

Pilot reports the CFI and student were practicing approaches at the aln airport. During the last climb out and level off at 2500 feet, the throttle was retarded but the engine continued to make full power. The CFI returned to the cps departure airport and was able to control the aircraft power by using the mixture control. The aircraft landed with no injuries or damage to property.
