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) He made two passes around the field. The first one resulted in a normal landing. The second one resulted in the accident. Mr. Sarto stated that he landed long and that the brakes didn't seem to work. The aircraft tracked to the left and the main wheel was on grass for about 75 feet. He then turned to the right and exited the end of the runway in the left 1/2 of the runway and struck a fence. The right main gear collapsed and a fence post broke off and was wedged under the collapsed main gear. The aircraft went down an embankment and came to rest heading about 90 degrees to the runway direction with the tail in the roadway. The brakes appeared to work ok on post accident inspection.
