The NTSB's narrative preliminary · quoted from the NTSB record
On February 19, 2026, about 0930 eastern standard time, a Tecnam P2006T, N964GV, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Miami, Florida. The flight instructor and student pilot were not injured. The flight was conducted under Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as an instructional flight. According to statements from the flight instructor and student pilot, a preflight inspection was completed prior to departure. Engine start, taxi, run-up, and flight control checks were completed with no abnormalities observed. The flight departed Miami Executive Airport (TMB), Miami, Florida and proceeded southwest to conduct multi-engine training maneuvers, including simulated engine failures and a single-engine minimum controllable airspeed demonstration. After completing the maneuvers, the flight was returning to TMB for an instrument approach. While in level flight at 2,000 feet msl and 6 nautical miles southwest of the airport, the student pilot observed a sudden, uncommanded left roll. Corrective inputs were applied, but maintaining control was difficult. The flight instructor assumed control. Lateral control remained restricted, both engines operated normally, and the autopilot was disengaged. The flight instructor then observed a piece of metal hanging from the left wing and suspected damage to the left aileron. An emergency was declared with air traffic control. Directional control was maintained using rudder and differential engine thrust, and the flight returned to TMB. The airplane landed safely without further incident. A post-flight examination confirmed substantial damage to the left wing, including the aileron assembly. The airplane was retained for further examination.

About this page
Everything above comes from the NTSB's public accident database: the narrative, probable cause and findings are the NTSB's own words, and the coded tables behind its report (pilot, aircraft, flight, weather, injuries, sequence of events) are written out in plain English. Pilots' ages, home towns and medical details are left out on purpose. The docket at the NTSB holds the report as a PDF and the investigation's photographs and documents. This site never names pilots, passengers or anyone else involved. A preliminary report describes what is known soon after the event and can change; the final report, with the probable cause, usually follows one to two years later and this page is refreshed when it does. Case number ERA26LA118.
