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) Concluding a VFR flight from blairsville, GA (46A), N700RT, a Mooney M20R, overshot runway 20R at Dekalb-Peachtree Airport (pdk) after landing. Runway 20R is paved, 3755 ft long, 150 ft wide, and served with a precision approach path indicator (PAPI). The reported weather at the time of this incident was calm winds, 9 sm visibility with clear skies. The pilot privacy data omitted aborted two approaches before landing on his third attempt. The pilot stated that he landed "a little bit long" and "hot." The tower operator reported that the aircraft appeared to be at a "very high rate of speed" during all of the approaches as well as after touchdown. After landing, the pilot applied brakes, the left main tire blew, and the aircraft continued off of the departure end of the runway. There were no injuries and, other than the blown tire and tube, no damage to the aircraft.
