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.

After touchdown the crew realized breaking action was (nil). The pilot chose to guide aircraft off the runway before running off the end and crossing a city street. Following the incident the breaking action continued to be reported as (good). The flight crew was counseled on operating in changing weather conditions and on contaminated runways. Investigation complete. ATCT personnel had no knowledge of runway condition due to intermittent snow squalls passing over the airport. The crew was not informed of rapidly changing conditions.
