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) Mr. Dana flew the ILS 36 to sav with a ceiling of 1200 overcast. Mr. Dana stated that he started the approach with too high of an airspeed and was fast and high when he cleared the clouds. The plane then floated down the runway and did not touch down until past midway point of the runway. The plane then bounced a few times and with less than 1000 feet to the end of the runway he thought he had enough room to stop. The plane ran off the end of the runway and the right tire hit a runway end identifier light, breaking it. Mr. Dana then taxied to signature. I asked an IA from sav to look at the plane for me. The IA was swaid l. rahn and he reported no damage to the aircraft.
