As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) AIRCRAFT WAS ON AN INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT. ON LANDING THE LEFT BRAKE FAILED AND THE AIRCRAFT RAN OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND STOPPED IN A FOUR FOOT DITCH. AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO PROP LANDING GEAR AND FIREWALL BUCKLED. THE BELLY SKIN IS DAMAGED. BRAKE FAILURE CAUSED BY IMPROPERLY FABRICATED AND INSTALLATION OF LEFT BRAKE METAL LINE.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
