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. Gene auwen and his wife (passenger) privacy data omitted were landing at the Camilla airport for refueling when the aircraft flipped over after landing. There were skid marks on the runway, apparently from the right main tire. Pilot stated that the left brake locked, causing the aircraft to flip over. The airport manager (A&P and IA) and I jacked the aircraft and checked the brakes and main landing gear wheels and noticed that the left wheel was binding but the brakes were functioning normally. The bearings and races appeared to be in satisfactory condition, however the grease was old and it appears that the bearings were not lubed or greased during the last annual inspection.
