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) A/c landed on rwy 26 at tulip city airport which was snow covered. Prior to landing mkg ATCT relayed report to pilot of N301TT, from a king air, that the braking action was "good". Shortly after landing N301TT encountered icy conditions under second half of snow covered rwy., which reduced braking effectiveness, resulting in the a/c sliding off the right side of the runway near the end of the runway. A review of the a/c performance data and current regualtions reveals that the landing was conducting within legal parameters. Pilot was counseled, via telephone, by inspectorprivacy data omittedon 1/5/01 with no further action planned. Inspectorprivacy data omittedtalked with poi for t-bird aviation, privacy data omitted of the dpa FSDO regarding this matter and the company is instituting new pre-flight planning measures which should prevent similar incidents of this nature in the future.
