## Narrative

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

(-23) WHILE TAXIING TO THE ACTIVE RUNWAY, THE AIRCRAFT TAXIED THROUGH SOME SNOW. THE AIR TEMPERATURE WAS BITTERLY COLD. UPON LANDING, ONE OF THE BRAKES FROZE. THIS CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO VEER TO THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY WHERE IT IMPACTED A LARGE SNOW BANK THAT HAD BEEN LEFT FROM THE SNOW REMOVAL OPERATION. THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK THE SNOW BANK AND FLIPPED ONTO ITS BACK CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. NO INJURIES OCCURRED. DURING THE RECOVERY OPERATION, IT WAS NOTED BY AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL THAT THE BRAKE WAS STILL LOCKED. THIS INCIDENT IS CLOSED WITH THIS REPORT. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
