## Narrative

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

ON AUGUST 5, 1999 A TAILWHEEL CONVERTED CESSNA 175B, PILOTED BY MR. DANNY RAY JOLLIFFE, VEERED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF RUNWAY 32 WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LAND AT TETLIN AIRSTRIP IN TETLIN, ALASKA. IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT A BAD DISK ON THE RIGHT BRAKE CAUSED THE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON THAT SIDE. MINOR DAMAGE TO THE LEADING EDGE OF EACH WING TIP OCCURRED. INITIALLY IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PASSENGER, MR. ERIC ERICKSON, A PRIVATE PILOT, WAS THE PIC MANIPULATING THE CONTROLS AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THE INVESTIGATION EVENTUALLY PROVED MR. JOLLIFFE AS THE SOLE MANIPULATOR OF THE CONTROLS.

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.
