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 10/31/2006 at 1315L CE-182RG, N6362T, sustained substantial damage after landing approximately 10 feet short of runway 24 at mjx. The aircraft was operated by the fbi as a public use, part 91 instructional flight with the purpose of providing commercial pilot training for one of their pilots with the flight instructor contracted from ocean aire.

The flight started with a short field take off followed by a closed left hand pattern and a short field landing. The pilot undergoing instruction reported that the approach was stabilized at 60-65 KIAS with 40 degrees of flaps when the plane dropped during the flare. The plane contacted the ground short of the runway, struck the runway edge, became airborne and contacted the runway approximately 25 feet from the runway end. The aircraft sustained one bent propeller with an s-bend, the firewall was bent, the tail was scraped, there were fuselage wrinkles aft of each main gear and the steering knuckle was broken off and nose gear compressed. The plane was taxied clear of the runway and then towed from there.
