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) 32. After disassembly of the brake cylinder there may be a determination of the part and cause of the failure. At that time an amendment will be submitted with a recommendation as to an appropriate corrective action. At the conclusion of a relatively short local flight conducted in accordance with title 14 code of federal regulations part 91, the pilot made a landing to runway 21 at 36U (Heber city, UT). During the rollout the pilot applied approximately equal pressure to both main brakes. At about 40 KTS the right brake completely failed. With pressure on the left the aircraft made an abrupt swerve to the left, became uncontrollable, went somewhat sidewise to the right, the right wing went down and struck the runway. The aircraft came to rest with the left wing in the air. Several feet of the outboard portion of the right wing was substantially damaged and bent up at approximately a 45 degree angle. The right main gear strut was bent inboard to some degree. There was no finding of pilot incompetence or maintenance irregularity.
