THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN TO DRIFT TO THE LEFT AND HE STATES THAT HE APPLIED FULL RIGHT RUDDER AND APPLIED THE RIGHT WHEEL BRAKE. SKID MARKS ON THE RUNWAY CONFIRM THAT THE RIGHT WHEEL WAS BRAKING.

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.
