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) Pilot used memory of previous trip to airpark and current sectional chart to provide him with airport data. He did not have current Prineville weather for the airport 10 miles northwest he attempted three approaches, he noted that the windsocks were not in agreement and his first two approaches were fast and he aborted both of those. Third allowed for a 'faster than normal' touchdown a third of the way down the runway. The brakes are of a small size and he used them sparingly until the runway sloped down and too late he saw he would not be able to stop before the end of the runway. Minor damage with no injury to pilot or passenger. Passenger's statement revealed nothing more. Pilot was counseled.
