## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT WAS TAXIING FOR TAKE-OFF, NEAR END OF TAXIWAY. RIGHT BRAKE ROTOR FAILED AT WELD RESULTING IN FULL BRAKING ACTION ONLY ON LEFT BRAKE.  AIRCRAFT SUBSEQUENTLY VEERED LEFT OFF TAXIWAY AND STRUCK TAXIWAY LIGHT.  IMPACT DAMAGE ONLY TO PROPELLER, MINOR SCRATCHES FOUND ON LEFT FORWARD FUSELAGE AND LEFT WING LEADING EDGE.

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.
