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) A/c N333KK was cleared to land on runway 9R at ptk. Braking action was reported as fair. Pilot indicated that landing and rollout was uneventful until he applied the brakes. He stated that braking action was actually poor. He proceeded to deploy the aircraft thrust reversers, but did so intermittently, so as to avoid a "whiteout" condition caused by blowing snow. The aircraft departed the end of the runway, striking a light with the left flap. The pilot stated that he used the continuing momentum of the aircraft to steer back to the taxiway, which he did successfully. The aircraft was then towed back to a hangar.
