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) During the approach and landing to runway 13 at Gnoss field (dvo), the pilot reports he landed about one third of the way down the runway. A near direct crosswind was reported on the surface and the runway was wet. After landing he selected ground (60 deg.) Flap and applied brakes. Pilot reports that it was immediately apparent that he would not stop in the remaining runway and applied full power to take off. He did not attempt to retract the flaps and the aircraft traveled beyond the end of the runway, through a marshy area, across a service road and into a drainage ditch.
