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

(-23)PILOT/OWNER STATED HE PULLED THE AIRCRAFT FROM THE HANGER AND TAXIED TO THE FUEL PUMP, WHERE HE SET THE PARKING BRAKE PRIOR TO FUELING THE AIRCRAFT. AFTER FUELING, HE BACK TAXIED TO THE END OF THE RUNWAY.  WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AND THE AIRCRAFT WENT OFF THE END, HIT A DITCH AND FLIPPED OVER ON IT'S BACK.  POST ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION DID NOT REVEAL ANY FLUID LEAKS OR INOPERABLE COMPONENTS IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM.  AD-85-02-05R1 REQUIRES THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO BE PLACARDED INFULL VIEW OF THE PILOT "NO BRAKING WILL OCCUR IF AIRCRAFT BRAKES ARE APPLIED WHILE PARKING BRAKE HANDLE IS PULLED AND HELD". THIS PLACARD IS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AS REQUIRED BY THE AD.
