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) After conducting a normal landing and takeoff the pilot attempted a no-flap, forward slip to landing. He landed with excess airspeed at approximately midfield. When the pilot realized there was insufficient runway to stop he considered a go around attempt, but instead locked the brakes and slid off the runway into soft sod. The nose gear buckled and the plane came to rest on its nose and wingtip. The firewall was substantially damaged.
