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) Witnesses stated pilot touched down at mid-field on runway 1 at N07, and went off the end of the runway. The pilot stated he "felt the a/c did not have enough braking power." The a/c came to rest on jacksonville road, 137 feet to the left of the centerline. Skid marks were noted 703 feet from the end of the runway. Two passengers on board received minor injuries and were taken to morristown hospital and released. Airman interviewed on 09/07/05 admitted landing too FAR down the runway. Two witnesses support this estimate. Cirrus factory safety investigator and FSDO airworthiness inspector thoroughly checked brake sysem (tear down) and found no abnormalities, just "flat spotted" tires.
