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.

(.4) The student pilot landed the airplane long and fast, and could not stop it before it went off the end of the runway and into some trees. The pilot was supposed to initiate a go-around once the airplane passed a prescribed mark on the runway, but did not do so.
