## Narrative

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

(-23)  ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2009, 1130 HOURS, A VANS RV-9A, N109RJ, PERFORMED TWO TOUCH-N-GOES AND A FULL STOP LANDING.  THE PILOT REPORTED WHILE TAXING THE RIGHT BRAKE HEATED UP.  WHILE TRYING TO REACH THE RUN UP AREA THE RIGHT BRAKE COMPLETELY LOCKED UP CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO TURN ABOUT 90 DEGREES.  THE TOWER WAS CONTACTED WHEN WE STARTED SMELLING HOT BRAKE ODORS, THEN THE RIGHT TIRE BLEW OUT.  SMOKE ENTERED THE COCKPIT, THE AIRCRAFT WAS SHUT DOWN.  ONE PILOT AND ONE PASSENGER EVACUATED WITH NO INJURIES.  AFTER EVACUATING THE AIRCRAFT WE COULD SEE THE RIGHT WHEEL WAS ON FIRE.  THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED.  VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED.

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.
