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.

The pilot on N229LP, was on an instrument approach to kcmh runway 28R, at 2.5 DME the pilot requested a side step to runway 28L for easier access to parking. The pilot stated that he began his sidestep manuver at 1.5 DME, he also stated that he was stabilized and also aware of the 3000' displaced threshold on runway 28L. Just prior to touchdown the tower controller called a go around for N229LP, she believed that the pilot was landing on a closed runway that is under construction. The subsequent go around was uneventful, when the pilot inquired as to the reason for the go around, the controller stated that she believed that he was landing on a closed runway. She was incorrect in her assumption, when N229LP attempted his next landing he stated that he was slightly high, he applied full flaps, something that he does not use with any regular frequency, due to the gusty conditions that prevailed at the time the pilot then stated that the aircraft was less controllable on the ground. The pilot over corrected and exited the pavement and travelled 1500' through the grass coming to rest facing east. Damage to the aircraft was minimal, with the only damage being a broken nosewheel fairing.
