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) The pilot experienced braking problems during the landing at Platte Valley Airport (18V), and ran off the end of the runway. The aircraft nose gear and propeller was damaged, the pilot did not encounter any injuries. The aircraft was inspected by Mr. John tappy A&P mechanic, certificate number 524803998, and found some glazing on the brake rotor surface (see attached letter signed by john tappy). The aircraft had been washed prior to this flight using a citric acid base degreaser and appeared to have coated the brakes causing them to fade during landing. The owner is presently having the aircraft brakes replaced with an improved replacement set of cleveland brakes. Mr. Dave gonzales of the denver flight standard district office counseled Mr. Resling on proper inspection and operational checks on the aircraft's braking system after aircraft maintenance. No further action taken by this office at this time.
