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.

The pilot departed on a cross-country flight with two 4.4-hour legs and was on final approach at the destination airport. He touched down past the midpoint of the 5,000-foot runway in an aircraft that requires 1,200 feet of rollout distance with normal breaking. Concerned with possible icy runway conditions, he applied conservative brakes. The aircraft overran the runway and the propeller struck an end-of-runway light, rolled further off the runway and the propeller stuck three approach lights before stopping 200 feet past the end of the runway. Damage to aircraft consisted of propeller damage and lower engine cowling debris damage from the struck lights.
