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.

Narrative: on August 5, 1996 at approximately 1130 local time, Piper, PA28-181, N47436 landed long on runway 6 (3N5). Pilot stated he was making a precautionary landing due to quantity of fuel remaining. (See pilot statement). FAA inspector checked fuel and found 10 gallons in the left fuel tank, right fuel tank had fuel that could be drained at the quick drain. Aircraft landed, no injuries, no fire. Aircraft was substantially damaged. NTSB downgraded to an incident. privacy data omitted This incident is considered closed. Pilot statement: I approached runway 6 at Newton Airport at about 70 KTS. On my approach to final I looked at what I thought was runway markings for the threshold of the beginning of the runway. After touchdown I applied full braking and realized the airplane wasn't going to stop in time. The plane veered into the bushes and over the embankment. There was substantial damage to the aircraft, no one was hurt. After I got out of the aircraft you can see more landing space behind that I didn't know was available.
