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) In a letter dated October 29, 2002, the pilot states that he approached the runway at the recommended approach speed, rounding out at 91-92 mph touching down on center line. As he began breaking he noticed the right brake was not providing full braking authority as the aircraft was pulling to the left. The pilot was unable to stop the aircraft before it reached the end of the runway. The aircraft went off the left side of the runway, into rough terrain, resulting in a propeller strike to the right propeller.
