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.

Cessna 172 aircraft departing runway 16 at Addison Airport (ADS). Aircraft was being operated as a dual instruction flight operated with a pilot school at ADS. The instructor directed the student to conduct a soft field takeoff. The full length of the runway was available and used. The aircraft lifted off and remained in ground effect. The student stated he told the instructor that he had an airplane trim issue and declared that he was going to abort the flight and land. The instructor stated that when they touched back down onto the runway after the aborted takeoff, he noticed the airplane was traveling at a high rate of speed. The student was pulling back on the yoke to aid in braking. The instructor was preventing the student from pulling back on the yoke because it might cause them to become airborne again due to the high rate of speed. Neither pilot declared taking command of the airplane to the other. Both pilots applied maximum braking at the same time. The aircraft passed the end of the runway with the brakes locked up. The aircraft came in contact with the runway arresting system (emas) and veered to the left off the runway coming to rest on the east side of the emas area.
