## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, THE AIRCRAFT WOULD NOT SETTLE DOWN TO THE RUNWAY ON HIS LAST PRACTICE HIGH SPEED TAXI. THE AIRCRAFT DID SETTLE INTO RUNWAY WITH ABOUT 400 FT. LEFT TILL THE END OF THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT STATED HE USED ALL 400 FT. AND BRAKED THE AIRCRAFT PAST THE END OF THE RUNWAY INTO SOME GRASS.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
