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 elected to land on an unlighted runway at night due to perceived adverse wind conditions. During approach he received a terrain warning and proceeded to climb. The pilot reported a rough running engine during power application instilling some urgency to effect a landing. Aircraft landed long, departed the runway end, traveled down an embankment and came to rest after impacting the airport perimeter fence.
