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) Mr. Ronald jarmon acted as pilot in command of N734NM while on a landing on runway 27 at Tallahassee regional airport (tlh). During the touchdown and landing roll, the aircraft overran the prepared surface of the runway and continued into the grass area at the end of the runway. The pilot reported the brake system to be "mushy". A check of the aircraft discrepancy log and a telephone conversation with the mechanic revealed the brake system was low on fluid. The aircraft was reserviced and signed off for a return to service. No damage or injuries occurred during this operation. 32. The owners of N734NM took the corrective action of adding the brake check to the inrange check list. 32. The PIC was counseled by an airworthiness and an operations inspector on the recording for maintenance irregularities as well as procedures on checking the brakes prior to taxi out and landing.
