## Narrative

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

(-23)PILOT APPLIED POWER WITHOUT RELEASING BRAKES; THE AIRPLANE NOSED OVER, STRIKING THE PROPELLER. THIS AIRCRAFT HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO A 180 HP AND REQUIRES CLOSER MANAGMENT OF THE CONTROLS AND BRAKES.  THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT SPEAKS OF THESE BRAKES STICKING AND IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THESE BRAKES BE REPLACED, AT NO CHARGE UNDER THE SB.

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.
