## Narrative

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

WHILE TAXING TO RUNWAY 9 RIGHT PILOT APPLIED BOTH BRAKES TO STOP AT THE HOLD SHORT LINE. THE LEFT BRAKE FAILED COMPLETLY WITH THE LEFT BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR. THE RIGHT BRAKE PRESSURE CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO MAKE AN IMMEDITATE RIGHT TURN AND LEFT THE TAXIWAY STRIKING  A TAXIWAY LIGHT WITH SLIGHT DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER.

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.
