## Narrative

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

(.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.

## 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.
