## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) THE PILOT ^PRIVACY ^ REPORTED PRACTICING FULL STOP LANDINGS AT RED BLUFF, CALIFORNIA (RBL). ON ONE OF THE LANDINGS, THE PILOT ^PRIVACY ^ SAID THE BRAKES FELT "FUNNY". THE PILOT ^PRIVACY ^ SAID SHE INSPECTED THE BRAKES AND OBSERVED A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF FLUID DRIPPING FROM THE RIGHT BRAKE. THE PILOT ^PRIVACY ^ SAID SHE TAXIED THE AIRCRAFT AND TESTED THE BRAKES AND FOUND THEM TO WORK NORMALLY. THE PILOT ^PRIVACY ^ DEPARTED RBL AND RETURNED TO REDDING, CALIFORNIA (RDD) WHERE, UPON LANDING, SHE EXPERIENCED A BRAKE SYSTEM ANOMALY AND DEPARTED THE RUNWAY. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO EITHER THE AIRCRAFT OR THE AIRPORT PROPERTY AND THE PILOT ^PRIVACY ^ RECEIVED NO INJURIES. INVESTIGATION SHOWED THAT THE BRAKES, ALTHOUGH WORN AT THE CALIPER ATTACH POINTS, WORKED. THE DRIPPING FIELD THE PILOT ^PRIVACY ^ SAW APPEARED TO BE FROM THE RIGHT STRUT AND NOT THE RIGHT BRAKE CALIPER. ACCORDING TO THE AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE RECORDS, THE AIRCRAFT ANNUAL INSPECTION WAS LAST PERFORMED ON 4/27/2005. AT THE TIME THE PILOT ^PRIVACY ^ WAS OPERATING N93747 ON 5/24/2006, THE AIRCRAFT WAS PAST DUE THE ANNUAL INSPECTION REQUIRED BY 14 CFR 91.409.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
