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.

Mr. Newhoff used 20 degrees of flaps during the approach. Touchdown on runway 34 was 100FT beyond the threshold at 65 KIAS. Mr. Newhoff tapped the brakes at the beginning of the landing roll and used full brakes at the end. The runway was wet, had moss on the departure end, and sloped downhill. The pilot was unable to stop within the 1750FT length of the runway. He turned 90 degrees left into a small runup area. The right gear departed the hard surface first and forced the aircraft into a right turn parallel with the runway. The aircraft came to rest nose down tail up in the mud and brush. Only the exhaust pipe was damaged. The pilot stated there was no known aircraft malfunctions.
