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.

Part 91 operation Cessna 172S, privacy data omitted, serial number 172S8801, with student pilot on board had a runway excursion while landing runway 05 at kapf Naples, FL. Pilot for privacy data omitted reported going around on the first try and on the second time privacy data omitted slightly ballooned then touched down. Upon touching down N108TC veered to the right entering the grass safety area and contacting a runway 05 edge light. N108TC then crossed runway 32 reentering the grass safety area for runway 05 between runway 32 and taxiway bravo. It was there where privacy data omitted came to a stop 15 yards from the runways edge. Minor dent damage to aircraft right landing gear strut and no injuries to student pilot.

The flight school assigned student pilot the chief light instructor. Student pilot has been receiving additional crosswind training, and reviewing the fundamentals of flight to make sure that student pilot flight training foundation is strong.
