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.

The aircraft was landed approximately 1/3 of the way down the runway and Mr. Mccarter was unable to bring the aircraft to a stop or slow down enough to turn off onto taxiway golf. The aircraft ran thru the grass area at the end of the runway and encountered a small berm which collapsed the front nose gear and the aircraft continued over the berm and turned to the right approximately 90 degrees and ended up facing nose down into a ditch.
