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.

Facts: on March 11, 2026, the pilot and one passenger onboard Cessna CE-T210L, privacy data omitted, departed borrego springs (L08) at 0946L for Cable (ccb). Based on written account of the pilot, as well as ADS-B position data from ato, the pilot attempted one landing unsuccessfully, resulting in a go-around. On the second approach attempt, the pilot touched down beyond the first third of the available landing distance at a speed in excess of the recommended approach speed published in the aircraft AFM, which resulted in a landing roll that required more runway surface than what was available and subsequently a runway excursion. The aircraft continued through the runway overrun and dropped off of an embankment at the FAR west end of the airport property, causing the aircraft to invert and come to a rest flipped over. The aircraft sustained substantial damage; no fatalities, passenger reported minor injuries, and the pilot reported no injuries.
