## Narrative

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

(-23) UPON PILOT ATTEMPTING LANDING, THE MAIN GEAR TOUCHED DOWN WITH THE LONGITUDINAL AXIS OF THE PLANE PARALLEL TO AND OVER THE CENTER LINE, BUT TOO FAST TO STOP BEFORE ENDING IN THE WEEDS AT THE DEPARTURE END OF RUNWAY 31.

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.
