From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23)On 4-5-00 Gulfstream g-iv aircraft, N314GA was ocnducting a taxi of braking system. The right brake locked and caused the right tire to blow out, causing a small fire at the tight mainlanding gear. Fire was quickly extinguised by lgb airport fire department, wheels and tires replaced, and the aircraft relocated to Gulfstream service center. Pre and post incident maintenance did not reveal any malfunction of the brake system. The brake lock condition was attributed to the combination of a brake system cross over cable installed for troubleshooting (rendering anti-skid system inoperative), and pilot heavy left brake iput when aircraft veered to the right (applying cumulative high pressure to the right brake).
