## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT RECENTLY HAD NEW CLEVELAND BRAKES INSTALLED WHICH ARE MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE THAN THE BRAKES THEY REPLACED.

TRAVELING AT APROXIMATE SPEED OF 15 MPH WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED.  THE AIRCRAFT NOSED OVER AND CAME TO REST ON ITS NOSE.  DAMAGE WAS CONFINED TO THE PROPELLER, SPINNER AND ENGINE COWLING.

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.
