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.

Narrative: Mr. Thomas stated that he was unable to locate pdk airport and he then requested a radar vector from pdk tower. The vector put him in a position to land straight in on runway 02L. But it also put him high and slightly fast. So in trying to salvage the landing roll was unable to stop before he rolled off the end of the runway. During this excursion off the runway he knicked the leading edge of his propeller. His prop was repaired by south eastern propeller repair shop. Mr. Thomas declined to have his engine torn down and signed a release prior to departure to protect epps air service from liability in case of engine failure. This incident closed with submission of this report.
