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) Aircraft N587XE, s/n 41H-679948, a Hawker siddely hunter MK-6A ran off the side of runway 05 after landing at gso. The pilot reported loss of brakes. He attempted to pump the brakes and they appeared to grab on the left side. Once the aerodynamics steering was lost, the aircraft drifted to the left and departed the runway. The aircraft hit two runway edge lights before departing the runway and then continued through the grass hitting a taxiway marker sign, crossed taxiway K5 and came to rest between taxiway k and runway 5/23. The left main landing gear was torn free on impact with the sign foundation and the left underwing fuel tank was bent from its underwing pylon and leaked some fuel into the grass. The pilot was not injured. The aircraft was moved from the site on a flat bed truck and taken to the Piedmont hawthorne FBO facility.
