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.

01/23/2023 privacy data omitted went off left side of runway at flying cloud airport (kfcm) during attempted go around. No injuries, substantial damage.

Student pilot and CFI performed 2 touch and go’s and 1 full stop landing. CFI then got out of the aircraft so the student pilot could fly solo. This was the 3rd solo flight for the student. The student completed 4 full stop taxi back landings. On the 5th landing attempt on runway 28R the aircraft bounced, and the student pilot applied full power to go around. The aircraft became airborne making an abrupt left turn. The left-wing tip struck the runway and the aircraft turned approximately 180 degrees before striking the ground nose first in the snow between runway 28L and 28R. The student pilot contacted ATC and told them that she was ok but needed assistance. She then waited in the aircraft until emergency personnel arrived. Damage to the aircraft included but was not limited to nose gear collapse, propeller strike, minor damage to left wing tip, and right side of stabilator bent up 5 degrees approximately 18 inches inboard from tip. Control continuity was established, and engine showed signs of rotation.
