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.

During short field landing training at Toledo airport (K5S4) runway 31 with a lignth of 1750 feet on 4/11/17, N80834, PA-28-236, ran off the end of the runway. The student, a left seat pilot had controls at time of landing. The CFI stated aircraft landed at approximately 72 KTS, full flaps, and throttle closed touchdown was approximately 290 feet/second strip down runway 31. The runway was dry with some wet spots but no standing water. The aircraft continued about half way down the runway when the CFI noticed the aircraft was still traveling at a high rate of speed and did not appear to be slowing as expected. Due to the limited amount of runway remaining the CFI felt the safest option was to go off the end of the runway. The CFI started to apply maximum braking at approximately 1059 feet down the runway resulting in skidding and a blown right main landing gear tire. The aircraft skidded for approximately 610 feet before exiting the runway. The student pilot proceeded to shut the engine down prior to exiting the runway. After crossing the threshold the airplane exited into a swampy area at approximately 20 KTS. The aircraft came to rest approximately 30 feet off the end of the runway. The nose landing gear was sheared off on the lower portion of the oleo strut due to a narrow ditch just beyond the runway. A mechanic verified the brake pads, discs, and hydraulic system was in servicable condition at the time of the incident. No injuries and only minor aircraft damage was found.
