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.

The pilot subsequently attempted to continue the takeoff following the decision to reject. The aircraft flew in ground effect to the point of touchdown, aproximately 300 feet from the departure end of the runway. From the point to initial touchdown to the point where the aircraft came to rest was approximately 200 feet, left of the extended centerline of the runway.
