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.
During touchdown and rollout, the aircraft experienced a sudden change of wind speed and direction that caused the aircraft to land long and depart the prepared surface. The pilot stated his airspeed decayed enough that he felt a go-around was unsafe. The aircraft’s main tires blew due to heavy braking. The aircraft sustained minor damage.
