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) On September 05, 2005 at 1630 local, airman made VFR approach to rnwy 01 at Lincoln Park Airport, NJ. In his statement he wrote: "my approach was a little higher than normal and at most 10 knots fast. We touched down approx. half way down the runway....I noticed minimal deceleration....increased brake pressure...then realized the plane would not stop by the end...no room to go around safely." A/c departed the end of the runway, and stopped in a fence: propeller, spinner and nose wheel shroud damaged. September 06, 2005 interviewed pilot who is an "active" flight instructor on the field. He stated he surprised himself with the poor judgement he demonstrated. (His mother and grandmother were on-board for a sight seeing flight). He said, as he tells his students, that he should have made the decision to "go around" when he realized he was landing long.
