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.

On initial approach, the pilot chose runway 21 and executed a missed approach because approach speed was too high. On second approach, aircraft floated in ground effect and landed long, pilot stopped engine and applied braking, but exited runway and crossed 100 feet of grass and hit a chainlink fence. No injuires.
