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

(-5) EYE WITNESS STATEMENTS & PHYSICAL EVIDENCE INDICATE N40362, A PIPER PA-23-250, WAS APPROACHING TO LAND ON RUNWAY 28 AT MAPLE LAKE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, MAPLE LAKE, MN. A CFI WHO WITNESSED THE INCIDENT STATED THE AIRCRAFT SEEMED HIGH & FAST, AND THAT IT TOUCHED DOWN BETWEEN 1/4 & 1/2 WAY DOWN THE RUNWAY. THE CFI ON BOARD THE AIRCRAFT STATED THAT THRESHOLD SPEED WAS SUPPOSED TO BE 95, AND THAT HE MAY HAVE BEEN AS FAST AS 100. SOMETIME SUBSEQUENT TO TOUCHDOWN, THE LEFT MAIN GEAR TIRE BLEW.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
