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) privacy data omitted acting PIC of N300DF departed (coe) enroute to Sullivan Lake State (09S) when he arrived in the Sullivan Lake State (09S) area he circled the airport and noted the wind favoring a landing on runway 16 which runs downhill toward the lake. He entered a left downwing at 80 mph. On base he extended his flaps to full and set up for a short field approach and landing. Once established on final and clear of the trees his airspeed indicated 70-75 mph. The pilot indicated his landing was long and little too fast. He decreased power to idle and applied brakes in an attempt to stop. As the end of the runway approached, he thought about attempting a go around. However, at this point he determined he was too slow and did not have enough runway remaining to achieve a safe flying speed. So he held the brakes full in an attempt to stop. He departed the end of the runway toward the beach. The aircraft briefly skidded across the beach before entering the lake. The aircraft came to rest in approximately 2-3 feet of water. He and his wife did not sustain any injuries and exited the aircraft. There was no indication of fuel or oil spillage.
