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.

Pilot was landing on runway 12 at Lee Airport (anp), Edgewater, MD. After touchdown he was unable to stop by the end of the runway and overran into a gravel aircraft stopping pit located between the end of the pavement and the airport fence. The nosewheel caught on the frame at the FAR end or that pit and collapsed, damaging the firewall. The pilot reported that he was flying 70 to 80 knots on approach. 65 to 75 is a more normal approach speed for that model aircraft.
