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) N47656 was cleared to land on runway 24 at Ann Arbor, MI (arb). The pilot reported that he decided to land with 10 degree of flaps and used a little higher airspeed than normal because there was a gusty wind. He reported that when the aircraft touched down (mid-way down the runway) the rain was extremely heavy and on braking there was no traction. The aircraft came to rest 20 to 30 feet beyond the end of the runway.
