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) On July 16, 2005, at approximately 1215 hours PDT, owner/operator, privacy data omitted was the pilot in command and sole occupant of Cessna 180, N2944C, when landing at Prospect, OR airport, 64S. The pilot privacy data omitted said he lost control of the aircraft because of a brake failure, little or no right brake. The aircraft exited the left side (west) of the runway, ground looped, causing the right wing tip to contact the ground, which in turn caused the aircraft to flip over on its top. The aircraft sustained substantial damage. There were no injuries.
