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.

Narrative: pilot landed on runway 15. During rollout, right brake began to drag and would not release. Pilot compensated, but left main gear contacted soft mud at edge of runway and sank in. Pilot unable to maintain control. Left and right main gear scissors fractured and gear collapsed. Pilot had already shut down engine so damage to propeller limited to only one blade bent. Minor skin damage. No further action. Owner/pilot to investigate brake condition.
