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) Pilot reported that upon landing, as he applied brake pressure, the left brake pedal started to go to the floor, but not all the way down. He stated that at this point, he lost directional control. Pilot stated that as he was not slowing sufficiently to make the turnoff at the end of the runway, he pulled back on his yoke and headed for the grassy area at the edge of the runway. There he impacted with 3 runway edge lights, with his r/h propeller.
