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.

Airman reports that on the takeoff roll, he was unable to accelerate beyond 60 knots. Based on inspector observation, there are two very long skid marks where it appears the airman attempted to abort the takeoff. The airman also confirms the faa's observation. The skid marks lead off the runway. Obvious tire marks lead through the grass before impacting the fence at the end of runway 32.
