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) The pilot stated that after landing he applied brakes. The left brake wasn't working well enough to stop or slow enough to turn. He thought it would slow down on its own before the end of runway. As he neared 1000 ft to end of runway he could tell it wasn't going to slow sufficiently so he added power momentarily to take off then he realied that he would not be able to obtain flying speed so he reduced power. He applied brakes again as able to slow down. He left the runway and went into a deep wide ditch and the aircraft flipped over on its back.
