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 aircraft had a mechanical failure that caused oil to partially cover the windscreen. The pilot managed to maneuver the aircraft to Georgetown Airport and safely land the aircraft. Due to excess speed he landed long and went off the end of the runway. He sustained minor damage to the aircraft and escaped without injuries. No regulations were violated. Investigation complete. No further action.
