## Narrative

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

(-23)WITNESSES STATED THAT ^PRIVACY DATA ^ WAS TAXING HIS GYROCOPTER DOWN THE RUNWAY WHEN THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED ON ITS SIDE. THE MAIN ROTOR STRUCK THE GROUND CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE.  ^PRIVACY DATA ^ STATED TO ME THAT WHILE HE WAS TAXING ABOUT 10 MPH, HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE LEFT BRAKE GRABBED CAUSING THE CRAFT TO SWERVE AND TIP OVER.  HE STATES THAT THE ROTOR BLADE WAS TURNING ABOUT 35 RPM WHEN IT STRUCK THE GROUD.  ^PRIVACY DATA ^ STATED TO ME ON THE PHONE THAT HE INTENDS TO FIX THE BRAKE PROBLEM HIMSELF.  I ASK HIM IF HE CURRENTLY HOLDS EITHER A PILOT CERTIFICATE OR AN A&P CERTIFICATE.  HE STATED THAT HE HOLDS NEITHER.

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.
