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) The pilot stated that he made his approach to runway 16 at Downtown airpark, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He stated that while turning base to final, he knew that he was "too high and too fast", but elected to continue with the landing and touch down "long". He said that after touchdown, he immediately applied brakes but was unable to stop before leaving the south end of the runway. The aircraft came to rest upside down in a creek and received substantial damage. The pilot, who was the only occupant in the aircraft, received minor injuries, and did not require medical attention.
