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.
During an instructional flight, the mixture was used to simluate an engine failure of the right engine at approximately 50%VMC. Brakes were applied but power was not reduced by the student. The instructor brought both mixtures to idle cutoff with maximum breaking. The aircraft yawed right. During the turn, the left proeller struck the ground.
