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 aircraft overshot the runway, chose to land and ran off the end of the runway and crossed the eastbound lanes of hwy US64. There was no interference with motor vehicles on the road and the pilot taxied the aircraft back across the road and to his hanger.
