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.

Root cause analysis provided the following:

Who: pilot in question, privacy data omitted

What: landed long and fast on first approach for landing. Aircraft departed the right side of the runway and came to a stop after entering deep mud from earlier rain. Pilot did not attempt a go-around.

Where: upon first landing at kfwn.

When: at approximately 10:53 the morning of March 24th, 2019. Why: pilot neglected to use adm and initiate a timely go-around, and instead forced the aircraft down on the last 750 feet of runway.

The airman was forthright in acknowledging that he made a mistake in not initiating a timely go-around. As a means of future risk mitigation, all parties involved determined that the pilot would benefit from the FAA compliance program in the form of remedial training.
