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 requested and was initialy set up and planned on an rnav/gps rwy 17 approach and landing. The surface winds favored a landing on rwy 17. Pittsburgh approach control provided vectors. The pilot executed the approach to the missed approach point. On the missed approach the pilot informed pittsburgh approach control that the airport manager informed him that rwy 35 was better set up for the landing, the rollout portion of rwy 35 had been sanded. The aircraft then was vectored and cleared for an rnav/gps rwy 35 approach. The aircraft executed the approach, cancelled the IFR flight plan on final and landed the aircraft on rwy 35 with a tailwind. The runway surface was not plowed or brushed, it was covered with wet snow and slush. The aircraft landed on the contaminated surface and the pilot was unable to stop the aircraft. The aircraft went off the runway on the extended centerline traveling the entire length of the overrun of 300 feet and came to a stop as the nose of the aircraft penitrated a chain link fence. End dhh.

On 1/29/2015 inspection of aircraft conducted. Damage to the aircraft consisted of; the left and right flaps inboard trailing edges bent approximately 5 inches, small 4 inch hole in the bottom center of the left flap, paint scratching on top of nose from aft of radome to bottom of windshields continuing up the left and right windshields.
