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.

(-23) Pilot was doing touch and go's at lake Hood strip when after landing, he attempted to take off again. At 70 mph he noticed a vibration in the nose wheel. Pilot felt that he could not take off so he elected to reduce power and the aircraft ran out of runway before he could stop. The aircraft went off the end of runway 31 stopping in a swamp area resulting in minor damage to the aircraft, and no injuries to the pilot. The nose gear was inspected and found to be in serviceable condition.
