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.

SWQ6851 on GPS rwy 18 approach, landed long runway 18. Aircraft continued to roll past the departure end of the runway, coming to a stop approximately 150 feet off of the departure end of runwy 18.

Possible factors contributing to this runway departure included the pilot?s decision to change runway selection late in the approach decision thereby resulting in an abbreviated crew briefing of the runway analysis and required approach CRITERIA0. The selected runway is relatively short for this type of aircraft and a longer runway 12 was available. Under this situation, the landing may have required full flaps for landing (40 degrees). This flap selection and weather conditions contributed to a landing touchdown beyond the normal touchdown area. This flap selection (30 degrees), weather conditions, and a wet runway contributed to landing long followed by the runway excursion. Gusting wind, turbulence, possible wind shear and a wet runway are all possible contributing factors.

As the FAA filed it

SWQ6851 ON GPS RWY 18 APPROACH, LANDED LONG RUNWAY 18. AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO ROLL PAST THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY, COMING TO A STOP APPROXIMATELY 150 FEET OFF OF THE DEPARTURE END OF RUNWY 18.

POSSIBLE FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THIS RUNWAY DEPARTURE INCLUDED THE PILOT?S DECISION TO CHANGE RUNWAY SELECTION LATE IN THE APPROACH DECISION THEREBY RESULTING IN AN ABBREVIATED CREW BRIEFING OF THE RUNWAY ANALYSIS AND REQUIRED APPROACH CRITERIA0. THE SELECTED RUNWAY IS RELATIVELY SHORT FOR THIS TYPE OF AIRCRAFT AND A LONGER RUNWAY 12 WAS AVAILABLE. UNDER THIS SITUATION, THE LANDING MAY HAVE REQUIRED FULL FLAPS FOR LANDING (40 DEGREES). THIS FLAP SELECTION AND WEATHER CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTED TO A LANDING TOUCHDOWN BEYOND THE NORMAL TOUCHDOWN AREA. THIS FLAP SELECTION (30 DEGREES), WEATHER CONDITIONS, AND A WET RUNWAY CONTRIBUTED TO LANDING LONG FOLLOWED BY THE RUNWAY EXCURSION. GUSTING WIND, TURBULENCE, POSSIBLE WIND SHEAR AND A WET RUNWAY ARE ALL POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS.
