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.

On roll out after landing, pilot was not able to stop the aircraft with full brakes applied to stop before the fence at the end of the runway. Pilot initially surmised a cross wind causing the aircraft to become light making the brakes less effective.
