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.

Landed long. Tried turn on taxiway too fast. Skidded into ditch. (.4) after making a short field landing, the pilot retracted the flaps to aid in braking. The pilot turned right to exit the runway at midfield. He reported that due to the airplane's speed and a gust of wind, the tires lost traction, the turn radius was too wide to make the turnoff, and the left main gear went into a ditch. He reported that the winds were from 280 degrees at 3 knots gusting to 11 knots. In his written statement, the pilot wrote that a continued rollout to obtain a slower speed after landing would be optimal before initiating a turn off the runway. No furter mechanical difficulties were noted with the aircraft or powerplant. (-23) pilot landed long and tried to turn off the runway at the mid-field taxiway. He was unable to slow the aircraft down and as he turned he skidded into a ditch that runs adjacent to the runway.
