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 pilot reported the airplane would not slow down during the landing roll with the use of brakes. He reported that he did no retract the flaps and the grass was wet from the previous night's rain. He reported he initiated a turn to the right into longer grass and was starting to make a 180 degree turn when the airplane contacted a fence at the end of the runway. (-23) at the completion of a 14 CFR part 91 flight, conducted in visual meteorological condition, the pilot landed at a private airport, with a grass runway approximately 2100 feet in length. Pilot reported that runway was bumpy, and that airplane would not slow down on the wet grass. He also reported that he later realized that he left the flaps down during the landing. The aircraft traveled off the end of the runway and collided with a fence. There were no injuries and the aircraft received substantial damage.
