## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

MADE HIGH SPEED APPROACH, LOST CONTROL ON LANDING, RAN OFF THE RUNWAY AND STRUCK AN EMBANKMENT.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB NYC96LA165](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/NYC96LA165), Aug 12, 1996: Piper PA-28-181 (N8121K), West Kingston, RI, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's misjudgment of distance and speed during the approach to land, and his failure to go around while there was still sufficient runway remaining, which resulted in an overrun of the runway…
