## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: THE AIRCRAFT SUFFERED DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF A HARD LANDING AT WORCESTER MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (ORH). A FAULTY BRAKE ON THE AIRCRAFT, AS STATED BY THE PILOT, COULD NOT BE SUBSTANTIATED AS THE CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT BY OUR INVESTIGATION. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ NO VIOLATION OF THE FEDERAL AVIATION REGULATIONS WAS FOUND. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
