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 stated he touched down over halfway down runway 14 which is only 3,818' x 75' and was fast. Pilot landed long and fast therefore was unable to stop on the remaining runway and elected to turn the aircraft off the left side of the runway prior to the departure end of runway 14. Both main tires were damaged and flattened due to the brakes being locked and a runway light was hit with no damage to the aircraft other than the tires.
