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.

After touchdown and during roll out the right brake locked, and the aircraft exited the runway to the right into an adjacent bean field. There were no injuries to the pilot, and minor damage to the aircraft. Conversation with the pilot on 09/17/01 confirmed that the right brake return spring failed, which caused the brake to engage with no input from the pilot. Incident number CE2001IGA0061 is considered closed with this report.
