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) During first landing the brakes on the YAK-52 failed to fully engage and the pilot made a go-around. On the second landing the pilot used the tall grass on the side of the runway to slow down the aircraft. The brakes still would not fully engage from the pilot's station and the pilot could not stop the aircraft or maintain full directional control. The aircraft slowed down and went off the end of the runway. The YAK-52 collided with three trees. The pilot and passenger were not hurt. The YAK-52 received substantial damage to the right and left wing. The propeller was destroyed and the engine mount was bent.
