## Narrative

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

(-23)WHILE TAXING AT BULLHEAD CITY AIPORT, THE AIRCRAFT BRAKES FAILED DURING A 6FT BRACKING TURN, CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO DEPART THE TAXIWAY SURFACE ONTO THE SAND. ONCE THE NOSE GEAR ENTERED THE SAND AREA, THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED CAUSING THE PROP TO STRIKE THE GROUND.

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.
