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 aircraft continued past the end of the runway into the grass, through the perimeter fencing, and across the road. The aircraft came to a stop when the left wing of the aircraft impacted a house.
