WHEN THE PILOT TURNED ON FINAL HE WAS FASTER AND HIGHER THAN NORMAL AND SLIGHTLY PAST CENTER LINE. THE PILOT SAID HE HAD A 20 DEGREE CROSS WIND AND GUSTS.

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.
