## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN 11' SHORT OF THE PAVEMENT OF RUNWAY 27 AND 250' SHORT OF THE DISPLACED THRESHOLD (TOTAL 266'). TWO RUNWAY END IDENTIFIER LIGHTS WERE BROKEN.  THE LANDING WAS MADE BY A PILOT RATED PASSENGER THAT WAS NOT TYPE RATED IN THE AIRCRAFT  AND NOT PART OF THE REQUIRED CREW WHO WAS OCCUPYING A FRONT SEAT.  THE TYPE RATED CURRENT AND QUALIFIED PILOT IN COMMAND DID NOT INTERVENE OR ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE LOW APPROACH AND SUBSEQUENT UNDERSHOOTING OF THE RUNWAY LANDING AREA.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
