## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: THE PACER WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH AN AIRCRAFT RADIO. THE PACER WHILE LANDING ON RUNWAY 36 DID NOT HEAR THE TRANSMISSION OF THE NAVAJO WHICH STARTED IT'S APPROACH FOR LANDING ON RUNWAY 10. THE PILOT OF THE PACER SAW THE NAVAJO APPROACHING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE, AND STARTED APPLYING THR BRAKES AS THE TWO AIRCRAFT CAME CLOSER AND CLOSER TO COLLIDING, HE PUT ON THE BRAKES HARD, WHICH CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO NOSE OVER AND STOP IN THE INVERTED POSITION.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
