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 10/11/2006, while enroute from bff to cek, the pilot decided to make a fuel stop at fmz. The pilot made four calls to fmz UNICOM with no response and decided to initiate a landing on runway 30. The pilot occupied the left seat and did not over fly the airport to identify the runways, wind direction or hazards at fmz. During the landing on closed runway 35, the pilot stated the winds were strong and decided to carry a higher airspeed with full flaps. The aircraft touched down approximately 650 feet past the yellow x at the end of the closed runway making three very flat or pronounced skid marks from all three landing gear tires on the fresh asphalt. The marks the disappear at approximately 15 feet from initial contact and no other marks are identified for 550 feet. The nose landing gear collapsed and the propeller came into contact with the asphalt for 27 feet then disappeared for 84 feet then reappeared as a solid skid for 520 feet before coming to rest towards the left side of the runway. At that point the pilot and the one passenger exited the aircraft without injury and minor damage to the nose landing gear and the propeller.
